US WaterVapor Animation (Java applet)

Nick Thompson
Have a look at this.

Two questions: Does anybody have a way to make this loop my screen saver.  Self refreshing.   I could stare at it all day and all night.  

One Question:  It seems to me this displays BEGS for the discover of some order parameters.  Or at least to have some lines drawn on it that would represent very simply what is going on here.  And I dont mean just vectors.  Notice all the places where air is moving in opposite directions within a few hundred miles.  

If you have ever wondered what sheer is and how it effects hurricanes, look at the blob east of Bermuda that is trying to become a tropical depression.  

I wish we had some weather people at the table on Friday.  Jim Stalker are you out there?????
