Forward-Looking Digital Camera Imagery. Version 1.0

During CONTRAST (CONvective TRansport of Active Species in the Tropics), the NSF/NCAR GV HIAPER (Gulfstream-V High-performance Instrumented Airborne Platform for Environmental Research) flew a forward-looking digital camera 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. 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. Note: Downward, Left, and Right-looking images can be found in the companion datasets.

在CONTRAST（热带活性物种对流传输实验，CONvective TRansport of Active Species in the Tropics）期间，NSF/NCAR GV HIAPER（湾流-V型高性能环境研究仪器化机载平台，Gulfstream-V High-performance Instrumented Airborne Platform for Environmental Research）搭载了一台前视数码相机，用于飞行中视频捕获。飞行期间每秒捕获一张JPEG格式的单张照片。本数据集已剔除夜间拍摄的图像。剩余图像已合并为时长一小时的tar文件，每个文件覆盖每小时开始后0分0秒（或首个文件的起始时间）至23分59秒（或最后一个文件的结束时间）的时段。请注意，每次飞行的首个和最后一个tar文件所含图像时长均不足一小时。每次订购时提供的目录文件会列出各对应tar文件的内容。注：下视、左视和右视图像可在配套数据集中获取。
