Digital Camera Movies
Summary
During TI3GER-2, the NSF/NCAR gv (Tail Number N677F) flew digital cameras for in-flight video capture. Individual photo jpeg images were captured once per second during flights. Images taken after dark have been stripped from this archive. Remaining forward, downward, left and right images for each second were combined into a single image and converted to Quicktime movie files. The movies are h.264 codec playable with Quicktime (Mac and Windows), xine, (linux) and mplayer (many platforms). Each of the original pointing images are 1024x768 pixels and were recorded at 1 frame/second. The movies are set to play back at 512x384 pixels and 15 fps.
Animated plots are visible on the right side of the frame with the following variables:
Plot 1: GGALT timeseries
Plot 2: DPXC timeseries
Plot 3: PSX timeseries
Plot 4: WIC timeseries
Plot 5: ATX timeseries
Plot 6: CONCD_RWO timeseries
Plot 7: ATX, GGALT 1:1
Plot 11: GGLAT, GGLON 1:1
