One of the cool things that the time lapse shows is how our summer weather works here on the SWFL Gulf coast. If you watch the development throughout the day you can see the daily shift of the winds from offshore (right to left in the images) to onshore (left to right). The cooler air coming off the gulf hits the hot air over land and the storms build. It's not hard to understand why we have so many heavy thunderstorms when you see a time lapse like we had today.You can really see the different wind directions at different levels as the day progress as well. I always knew this was happening just from looking at the wind graphs but it's quite another thing to see it visually. I should have tackled this project long ago.
On a side note, I've got the file size down to just short of 6M. 24 hours, 1 frame captured every 30 secs, with a total length of about 3:30 minutes. That may be a little long but I like the resolution (in time) that the current setup gives me so I think I'm happy with where things are. I still need to get it uploading automatically. Now I'm just waiting on my license for ImageSalsa and I'll be ready to switch over from webcamXP.
