Downward-Looking Digital Camera Imagery

Abstract

During CAESAR, the NSF/NCAR C-130 flew a downward 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.
