For those of you with Broadband connections, I've put an AVI animation
of the Biscay storm development as seen by Meteosat 8 (MSG-1) The
pictures are copyright Eumetsat. The frames are from the 15 minute
repeat cycle and from the IR 10.8um channel.

www.cambrensis.org.uk/Biscaystorm.avi

The rest of the website is not weather related, it just happens to have
enough room for the file!

Be warned the file is 60Mb! But IMHO well worth the view. Let me know
what you think.

I have added a grid and country outlines to make it easier to follow the
progress. It certainly ranks for me as once of the most fascinating
'bombs' to have watched developing.

Cheers,

James

Superb, James. The upper flow can be clearly identified in the high
cloud movement.

As an aside, how did you force Windows Media Player to play full screen?
I have been trying to do that on a website but without success so far. I
can only get it to play as a very small screen.

No idea Norman!! Can't claim any credit. The only thing I can think of
is that I pointed directly to the file rather than to a web page - would
this make a difference I wonder?

You can select full screen for media Player once its running I think.

Thanks for the encouragement.

Are you talking about the linked video Norman? If so - it doesn't
play full screen it's just quite big (media player sizes according to
the video) at 888x501 pixels. On my system it's still windowed.

I am using both versions 9 and 10 on my PC. I can go to full screen by
double clicking the left mouse button when it is on the moving image.
Repeating that, or pressing the escape key, will get you back to normal
viewing.

Yes, I did mean the linked video. True, it is still windowed but it
fills most of the screen. Are you saying that it's the pixel size of the
video frames that determines the size of the media player window?

Sorry, this has drifted off-topic. Not much weather here today. Only a
gentle E'ly breeze and no rain so far.

James,

Many thanks for posting the link - superb animation, really clear view
of the development.

Who does the hosting for the site? They've got a nice connection out - I
finished the download with a sustained rate of 535KB/Sec earlier!

Nice to have that report Graham! It's 1and1.

I also have an RSS animation which is 10 minute intervals - very smooth.

Cheers,

T3 is great, university network is incredibly fast. I got 636KB/s once
when downloading a file. I forget its origin.

Also the destabilisation of the warm plume over Italy, resulting in some
huge thunderstorms around Rome and Po Valley.
