Page Summary
-
This dataset contains Landsat 8 composites made from Level L1T orthorectified scenes using top-of-atmosphere reflectance.
-
The dataset is complete and has been superseded by a newer version (LANDSAT/LC08/C01/T1_8DAY_NBRT), with production of this pre-collection data ceasing on May 1, 2017.
-
The composites utilize the Normalized Burn Ratio Thermal (NBRT) index, derived from Near-IR, Mid-IR, and Thermal bands.
-
Composites are created from all scenes within each 8-day period, with the most recent pixel used as the composite value.
-
This dataset is in the public domain and requires acknowledgement of the USGS as the data source.

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.
The Normalized Burn Ratio Thermal (NBRT) index is generated from the Near-IR, Mid-IR (2215 nm), and Thermal bands, and has a range from -1.0 to 1.0. See Holden et al. (2005) for details.
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.
