NCAR/NSF C-130 Forward-Facing Digital Camera Images [NCAR/EOL]
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/87.058

Summary
This data set contains images from the forward looking camera of the C130
during the RICO project. The C130 flew a forward looking digital camera and a
downward looking camera for in-flight video capture. Individual jpeg images
were captured once per second during RICO flights. Images taken after dark
have been stripped from this archive. 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 23 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 the forward-looking camera images.
