22-Jan-2016 to 16-Feb-2016 imagery was captured by the Cloud-Cam instrument aboard the RSV Aurora Australis during the K-Axis campaign. Images were acquired at a 1-minute cadence and processed into timelapse movies and keograms. The dataset was provided by the AU_AADC organization.
Use Cases
- Analyze cloud fraction metrics derived from the processed timelapse movies.
- Study diurnal cloud patterns using the 1-minute cadence of the image sequence.
- Create keograms by analyzing the vertically accumulated zenith pixel slices from each image.
- Validate satellite cloud observations with ground-level all-sky imagery from the Antarctic voyage.
Strengths
- Images cover a specific 26-day voyage period from 22-Jan-2016 to 16-Feb-2016.
- High temporal resolution with data captured at a 1-minute cadence.
- Includes processed derivatives like timelapse movies and keograms for analysis.
Limitations
- Unknown total number of images or raw data volume.
- Limited geographic scope to the path of a single ship voyage.
- Data is from a single campaign in 2016 and may not represent other seasons.
