Forward-Looking Digital Camera Movies
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/113.087

Summary
During the PLOWS project, the NSF/NCAR C-130 flew a forward looking digital
camera for in-flight video capture. Individual JPEG photo images were captured
once per second during flights. Images taken after dark have been stripped and
the remaining images were converted to MPEG (.MP4) movie files. The movies are
MPEG-4 codec playable with Quicktime (Mac/Windows), Xine (Linux), Mplayer, or
VLC (cross-platform). The original images are 704x480 pixels and were recorded
at 1 frame/second. The movies are set to play back at 712x384 pixels and 15
fps.
