10 May 2014 Climax, KS Supercells
One of the more beautiful supercell lapses captured, this set of scenes illustrates a couple of slow-moving "naked" supercells traversing the southeast Kansas landscape in May 2014. Shot by the very talented Stephen Locke.
29 August 2014 Kansas City Arcus Cloud
Master lapser Stephen Locke captured this beautiful shelf cloud from non-severe convection traversing Kansas City in August 2014.
6 September 2014 Catalonia, Spain Convection
Oscar van der Velde captured this lapse of a multicell complex in Castellgalí, Catalonia, Spain.
7 May 2014 Red River Supercell
VortexChasers.net provide this time-lapse of a nice supercell that traversed the Red River (of the south).
19 May 2014 Sidney, NE Supercell
"Kyle" provides this truly beautiful lapse of the, somewhat famous, supercell that roamed the Nebraska High Plains on 19 May 2014.
"Wyoming Wildscapes II"
Nicolaus Wegner provides this stunning movie of lapses captured over 14 months in arguably one of the most scenic states in the U.S. The last half of the movie has some of the best storm lapses I've seen. Enjoy!
15 November 2013 Australian Supercell
James Chambers of brisbanestorms.com provides this stunning lapse of a supercell near Gold Coast, Australia.
"A History of the Sky" - 365 days in a Single View
Ken Murphy provides this very unique, 365-panel perspective on the "annual" weather in San Francisco. Essentially, it is year-long lapse of the sky from a camera installed on the roof of the Exploratorium museum in San Francisco, CA. The days are arranged in chronological order, which reveal "patterns of light and weather over the course of a year".
As stated on APOD: "Each panel shows one day. With 360 movie panels, the sky over (almost) an entire year is shown in time lapse format as recorded by a video camera on the roof of the Exploratorium. The camera recorded an image every 10 seconds from before sunrise to after sunset and from mid-2009 to mid-2010. A time stamp showing the local time of day is provided on the lower right. The videos are arranged chronologically, with July 28 shown on the upper left, and January 1 located about about half way down. Although every day lasts 24 hours, daylight lasts longest in the northern hemisphere in June and the surrounding summer months, a fact which can be seen here as the bottom (and soon top) videos are the first to light up with dawn. The initial darkness in the middle depicts the delayed dawn and fewer daylight hours of winter. In the videos, darkness indicates night, blue depicts clear day, while gray portrays pervasive daytime cloud cover. Many videos show complex patterns of clouds moving across the camera's wide field as that day progresses. As the videos collectively end, sunset and then darkness descend first on the winter days just above the middle, and last on the mid-summer near the bottom."

28 May 2013 Julesburg, CO Supercell
A short -- but amazing! -- lapse of a low-precipitation supercell near Julesburg, CO on 28 May 2013 as captured by Brad Hannon.
3 June 2013 Booker, TX Supercell
Lapser Mike Olbinski captured this amazing set of scenes of a high-based, dusty supercell traversing the north Texas Panhandle plains near Booker. It is truly a beautiful lapse ... illustrating the awe-inspiring grandeur of storm observation in the High Plains.
31 May 2013 El Reno, OK Supercell and Tornadoes
Masterful lapser Skip Talbot does a wonderful job distilling the El Reno tragedy with this lapse-focused short. Good job, Skip!
Addendum ... below is Skip's analysis of this horrific event.

8 May 2013 Paducah, TX Storm
James Langford has been producing some stunning lapses lately. This one, captured in the northwest Texas plains, is a beautiful illustration of a storm, its updraft with tentacles beneath, exhaust, and intersecting flow traced by flat stratocu (heck, let's don't forget the rainbow!). From this perspective, anticyclonic circulation can be found due to the dynamical effects brought about by an updraft in a sheared environment. This is an atypical perspective, providing a great illustration of a storm from a potential left split view.
8 April 2013 Kanorado Supercell
Chris Allington provides this stunning lapse from 8 April 2013, which provides a view of the so-called Kanorado supercell that traversed the area north and east of Burlington, CO. It contains a dramatic illustration of low-level inflow and mid-level banding.
2009 Station Fire (LA, CA)
Brandon Riza provides this stunning lapse of the Station Fire near Los Angeles in 2009. This is perhaps the best illustration of pyrocumulus formation you'll find on the web. A lapse of the pyrocumulus tops can be found in this video.
13 April 2012 Blair, OK Supercell
Chaser Stephen Locke provides the beautiful, HDR lapse of an "outflow dominant" supercell near Blair, OK during the spring of '12.
Marine Layer Waterfall
In a perfect illustration of the "atmosphere is a fluid", John Ochs provides this short lapse of the marine layer cascading over a ridge near Malibu Canyon, CA. Subsidence on the lee side of the ridge leads to compression/drying.
25 May 2012 Russell, KS Supercell/Rope Tornado
Brandon Vincent captured this segment near Russell, KS on 25 May 2012. The lapse includes clear slot/RFD, wall cloud, tornadogenesis, and dramatic rope.
15 June 2012 Kanorado, KS Shelf/Whale's Mouth
Chaser Stephen Locke captures this truly beautiful stormscape along the KS/CO border that shows an MCS with attendant shelf.
12 July 2010 Decaying Kansas LP Supercell
Chaser Stephen Locke captured these lapse segments of a midsummer, decaying LP supercell near Colby, KS.
