Forward-Looking Digital Camera Imagery
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/638.017

Summary
During CAESAR, 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. The images have been combined into hour long tarfiles
running from zero minutes zero seconds to 59 minutes 59 seconds 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.

Identifiers
 * Local archive identifier: 638.017

Versions
  1.0: Please note that image capture worked intermittently during CAESAR so
not all flights have imagery available.
