Downward-looking Digital Camera Movies - preliminary
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/483.028

Summary
During the Wintertime Investigation of Transport, Emission, and Reactivity
(WINTER) project, the NSF/NCAR C-130 (Tail Number C130_N130AR) flew digital
cameras for in-flight video capture. The original images are 1280x960 pixels
and were recorded at 1 frame/second. Images taken after dark have been
stripped from this archive. Remaining images were converted to Quicktime movie
files. The movies are h.264 codec playable with Quicktime (Mac and Windows),
xine, (linux) and mplayer (many platforms). The movies are set to play back at
640x480 pixels and 15 fps so the entire flight plays back in about 30 minutes.
Fast-forward, reverse, scrubbing, etc. is possible in most players. Files are
typically 300 MB in size. Preliminary movies were only created for the first 6
flights.
