Photography Forward/Side Looking Video [EOL]

Summary

The PACIFIC ATMOSPHERIC SULFUR EXPERIMENT is a comprehensive study of the chemistry of sulfur in the remote marine troposphere. Aircraft were based on Christmas Island in the Pacific Ocean from 3 August through 09 September 2007. The NSF/NCAR C-130 was used to carry the chemistry paylod. This dataset consists of MPEG movie files made from jpg images taken from a forward looking camera mounted on the C-130. The flight movies are made from the one frame per second images, but they play back at 15 frames per second. The aircraft position, attitude, and a number of other parameters are included as a sidebar in the movie.
