Looking at your real-time cloud rendering, have you considered trying to interpolate between the images provided every 3 hours by EUMETSAT? I have tried this using images from DISCOVR but I'm not totally happy with the result. I wonder if you or anyone else might have some ideas to get more realistic movement between the clouds inbetween each 3 hour interval?
I've wanted to do it but didn't really know where to start, so I'm very interested to hear if anyone has any pointers. I'll have a look at your project too
