These Landsat Collection 2 Tier 1 Level 2 composites are made from Tier 1 Level 2 orthorectified scenes.
The Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) is generated from the
Near-IR, Red and Blue bands of each scene, and ranges in value from
-1.0 to 1.0. See
Huete et al. (2002)
for details.
These composites are created from
all the scenes in
each annual period beginning from the first day of the year and
continuing to the last day of the year. All the images from each year
are included in the composite, with the most recent pixel as the composite value.
Notes:
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.
