AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
This dataset provides Landsat 8 Collection 1 Tier 1 annual composites, created from orthorectified scenes using DN values representing scaled, calibrated at-sensor radiance.
-
The composites include all scenes from each year, with the most recent pixel used as the composite value.
-
Data covers the period from 2013-01-01 to 2022-01-01 and includes spectral bands such as coastal aerosol, blue, green, red, near infrared, and thermal infrared.
-
Landsat datasets are public domain and can be used without copyright restrictions, but USGS should be credited as the data source.

Description
These Landsat 8 Collection 1 Tier 1 composites are made from Tier 1 orthorectified scenes, using the DN values, representing scaled, calibrated at-sensor radiance.
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.
