Forward-Looking Digital Camera Movies [NCAR/RAF] - Preliminary
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/371.003

Summary
During the MPEX project, the NSF/NCAR GV HIAPER 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 Quicktime (.MOV) and MPEG (.MP4) movie
files. The movies are H.264 and MPEG-4 codec playable with Quicktime (Mac and
Windows), Xine (Linux), Mplayer, or VLC (cross-platform). The original images
are 1024x768 pixels and were recorded at 1 frame/second. The movies are set to
play back at 512x384 pixels and 15 fps. The three test flights (TF01-TF03) and
research flights (RF01-RF15) took place between 5-07-2013 and 6-14-2013.
