Found this cool project (not mine) that uses butterflow for applying motion interpolation to Himawari-8 satellite images: https://github.com/dandelany/animate-earth The final results look really nice https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6Mlo4zfmEITcNoCpBKfEfg/pla...

Related project: animate-earth https://github.com/dandelany/animate-earth This repository is an experiment in applying optical-flow-based motion interpolation to processed RGB satellite imagery from Himawari-8’s AHI imager, with the aim of regularly producing high-quality smoothed videos from these images, and sharing them with the world. The final products can be found on this Youtube channel[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6Mlo4zfmEITcNoCpBKfEfg/pla...], updated nearly daily.

In addition to the link posted by celoyd, you can get access to the full data stream you mentioned by filling out this application form[0]. There are also some heavily processed images from that data available from NOAA[1] - the "Geocolor Full Disk" is the best, it's half-resolution (5500x5500). The green filter on Himawari's camera doesn't correctly capture the green color of vegetation, which is why OP's video looks browner than you might expect. So this product attempts to correct for that by creating an artificial green channel made of a combination of other channels[2]. It also attempts to correct for Rayleigh scattering[3], so this is basically what the Earth would look like if the atmosphere suddenly disappeared (except for the clouds :P). The night portions of these images are a different kind of false color composite: the clouds
