Description
These Landsat Collection 2 Tier 1 Level 2 composites are made from Tier 1 Level 2 orthorectified scenes, and include the SR bands: blue, green, red, nir, swir1, swir2, and thermal.
These composites are created from all the scenes in each 8-day period beginning from the first day of the year and continuing to the 360th day of the year. The last composite of the year, beginning on day 361, will overlap the first composite of the following year by 3 days. All the images from each 8-day period are included in the composite, with the most recent pixel as the composite value.
Notes:
The code used to create the composites can be seen here.
Only daytime images with WRS_ROW < 122 are included.
For Landsat 7 , images after 2017-01-01 are excluded due to orbital drift.
For Landsat 8, images before 2013-05-01 are excluded due to pointing issues.
