// A Lansat 8 TOA image collection for a specific year and location.
var col = ee.ImageCollection("LANDSAT/LC08/C02/T1_TOA")
  .filterBounds(ee.Geometry.Point([-122.073, 37.188]))

// An image property of interest, percent cloud cover in this case.
var prop = 'CLOUD_COVER';

// Use ee.ImageCollection.aggregate_* functions to fetch information about
// values of a selected property across all images in the collection. For
// example, produce a list of all values, get counts, and calculate statistics.
