The video you see above shows the Earth’s weather from August 17 to August 26 this year. With the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) GEOS-5 atmospheric general circulation model, the agency was able to shoot this 7-kilometer resolution of the Earth’s weather.
The GEOS-5 atmospheric general circulation model, which was based on the Earth System Modeling Framework, was developed by NASA Goddard’s scientists. It is an open source project “for building climate, numerical weather prediction, data assimilation and other Earth science software application.”
There is also a 1080p high definition of this same video over at NASA’s website so if you want to see this thing more clearly, you can head over there.
But really, isn’t it amazing what technology can do? The visual display of the Earth’s weather in something this simple and basic only makes us realize how insignificant we really are.
