In case you don’t believe the same equations govern #motion in the #atmosphere and the #ocean.
Video by Tristan Heth in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.
@davidho yes, this is a stunning timelapse. lucky those who've seen it "life" once!
@christoph_STCmicrobeblog @davidho
I was lucky enough to see it from an airplane once, as the clouds hit a mountain and splashed up. It is a vision frozen in time for me. Incredible!
@davidho you can guess the shape of the topography underneath from the motion. Great video.
@davidho yes its very very beautiful, my second land is a paradise
@davidho Incredible footage!
@davidho This is so cool!

@davidho great photo. I just joined and tried uploading a photo. My phone isn't uploading the image.
@Rosiecuffy @davidho
Rosie, it could be your instance, but I found that once I switched out the Mastodon app for Metatext on my iPhone, my problems were solved.
Did you figure it out yet? On my app, there is a photo icon to add and when I use the web (on my phone or desktop) there is a paperclip for attaching pics, etc.
@davidho It's the Cloud Sea.
@davidho es el mar de nubes característico de nuestro archipiélago.
@davidho Tenerife is so cool - so many climates in such a small area!
@davidho fascinating!
@davidho This is something…
@davidho Incredibly beautiful.
@davidho even solids are governed under fluid dynamics given a long enough time scale.
@davidho Proving a fluid is a fluid regardless of density.
@davidho I don't know any equations but I pretended I was floating in the ocean. Thank you.
@davidho now can you surf using a hang glider?
@davidho this is incredible.
@davidho wow! Amazing !
@davidho I have seen this once. And for me it was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. It was for me something quite similar to the overview effect.
@davidho Absolutely stunning.
@davidho Wow, this looks like it could be an extension of the painting "Wanderer above the Sea of Fog" by Caspar David Friedrich!
@davidho
Mesmerising
@davidho I think i once saw a paper in which even Mountains were described by Navir-Stokes. Anyway beautiful
@davidho well yes these are waves created by the friction between two fluids, it doesn’t matter which fluids are you can have waves just the same
@davidho The left side of my brain says “what did you expect? fluids are fluids, mate” while the right side is just “WOW”.
@davidho Fluids gonna fluid
@davidho beautiful!
@davidho that's right you show 'em
@davidho
What impressive things are happening with the clouds and the lights, these days… I saw yesterday that post of photos showing a shadow cast upwards on clouds, right underneath them, around Mt Rainer yesterday !

Must. Stop. Watching.
@davidho Very beautyful
And there was definitely no one standing under the clouds with a fan? Brilliant!
@davidho Do you have an actual video of this? The GIF is a nice preview, but a poor substitute! Thanks.
@davidho This is beautiful.
@davidho That's gorgeous
@davidho Fabulous video. Should be required viewing for middle-school science classes on up.
@davidho that's incredible!
