Forward-Looking Digital Camera Imagery
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/350.002

Summary
During IDEAS-4 C130, the C-130 flew a forward looking digital camera for
in-flight video capture. Individual photo jpeg images were captured once per
second during IDEAS-4 C130 flights. Images taken after dark have been stripped
from this archive and 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 59 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. This dataset only contains
forward-looking images.
