Forward-Looking Digital Camera Imagery
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/373.002

Summary
During NOMADSS, the NSF/NCAR C-130 flew a forward-looking digital camera for
in-flight video capture. Individual photo jpeg images were captured once per
second during flights. Images taken after dark have been stripped from this
archive. The remaining images have been combined into hour long tarfiles
running from zero minutes zero seconds (or the start time of the first file)
to 23 minutes 59 seconds (or the end time of the last file) after each hour.
Note that the first and last tarfile for each flight will contain less than a
full hour of imagery. Directory files returned with each order give the
contents of each corresponding tar file. Note: Downward-looking images can be
found in the companion dataset below.
