1. 15:33 microwave society

2. 100000 feet is 30480 meters. Not 300000 meters.

3. I want to be a meteorologist when I grow up

4. Man this makes me proud to be human. Our collective accomplishments are divine. 😊

5. This is the video for explanation of this process. I was curious and now that has been satisfied.

6. These data is interesting.

7. Spy ballons

8. "Harmless weather instrument" is scarier than "drop and run".

9. I can’t see it in the comments but it must be there over the year this video has been live. A correct: “100,000 feet or 300,000 meters” in the first minute of the video. I think you mean “30,000 meters”. Thanks for the video!

10. why you find more information about how it works on the net

11. Sorting out how to fuck up your own day, watch this video three times.

12. What a fantastic video. You have a new subscriber.

13. Now heres something i didnt know nice!

14. Thank you for using the metric system also, absolutely no one can understand the imperial system

15. Omg that’s a lot of work 😱

16. 0:37 300'000 meters! Ehm i think something Went wrong in the calculations.

17. Sometimes the world can feel like it’s getting worse or we aren’t making progress but to think we’ve gone from steam trains to this in a few generations is wonderful. What a brilliant video and what an amazing system we’ve collectively developed.

18. “Get the Government out of my weather forecast!” is a real thing, that’s the amazing thing.

19. If you have the right antenna and software, you can listen to the data stream coming from the GOES satellites and look at the pictures they send down. I had a science teacher in high school in the dark ages of the mid 90s who did just that. He had an antenna on the roof of the building. A computer in his room could grab images from, what was back then, GOES 8. He was one of the best teachers I ever had. I just think theres something cool about the idea that anyone can listen to a government satellite and get data from it. Building the antenna from cheap materials is relatively easy. The software is not too hard to understand, either.

20. So many mistakes

21. Nowadays apps like “Predict Now” also emerged for weather enthusiasts like us. What an interesting world

22. Maybe you could take down any videos that are more than 90 days old when all they are is whether I would take them down ever seven days personally because otherwise you lose credibility we’re looking for today’s weather not six year old weather FYI

23. Ngl the weather report is still so inaccurate for me 😭

24. haha! I built a scale model of the GOES 8 (I think) right at the end of the days when it was just a little cheaper /faster to just build a physical model and photograph it (for the national evening news)

25. why don't they just… make more of the scanners? what is stopping them?

26. What is that weather buoy in the middle of the desert.

27. the hidden complexity of the modern world is amazing. The average person will never understand or bother trying to get an idea of all the work that is required to make the modern world run smoothly

28. It's so cool to see so many people who work in this field in the comments! We thank all of you for your hard work to provide us with these things that we access for free 💜

29. As a regular guy who stayed at a holiday Inn express, I must say ……………….cool video 😂

30. You forgot the part where the Airforce shoots them down. 🤣

31. Misfortunes tell us what fortune is

32. Fun fact: China has the most advanced weather balloon that the US was surprised

33. BUOY

34. Weather forecasting is the only job that still pays if you're more wrong than right

35. Optical flow , computer vision applied to weather and logistic .

36. Hrrr could def inform you to wear a rain jacket tomorrow…

37. then those balloons got shot down 😂😂😂
