Landsat 8 32-Day TOA Reflectance Composite [deprecated]

  • This Landsat 8 dataset provides 32-day composites of Level L1T orthorectified scenes, using top-of-atmosphere (TOA) reflectance.

  • The dataset covers the period from April 7, 2013, to April 7, 2017, and is now complete as USGS has ceased production of Pre-Collection Landsat.

  • Users are strongly advised to switch to the updated Collection 1-based dataset: LANDSAT/LC08/C01/T1_32DAY_TOA.

  • The dataset includes spectral bands ranging from coastal aerosol to thermal infrared, with varying spatial resolutions.

  • Landsat data is public domain, but users should acknowledge USGS as the data source in publications or presentations.

Description

These Landsat 8 composites are made from Level L1T orthorectified scenes, using the computed top-of-atmosphere (TOA) reflectance. See Chander et al. (2009) for details on the TOA computation.

As of May 1, 2017, the USGS is no longer producing Pre-Collection Landsat, and therefore this collection is complete. Please switch to a Collection 1-based dataset. See this documentation page for more information.

These composites are created from all the scenes in each 32-day period beginning from the first day of the year and continuing to the 352nd day of the year. The last composite of the year, beginning on day 353, will overlap the first composite of the following year by 20 days. All the images from each 32-day period are included in the composite, with the most recent pixel as the composite value.
