AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
This dataset provides 32-day raw composites of Landsat 7 Collection 1 Tier 1 data from 1999 to 2021.
-
The composites use DN values representing scaled, calibrated at-sensor radiance, with the most recent pixel value for each 32-day period.
-
Bands include Blue, Green, Red, Near Infrared, Shortwave Infrared, Thermal Infrared, and Panchromatic, with a pixel size ranging from 15 to 60 meters.
-
Landsat data is public domain, but requires acknowledgement of the USGS as the data source.
-
These datasets are available through Google Earth Engine, a platform for scientific analysis and visualization of geospatial data.

Description
These Landsat 7 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 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.

B6_VCID_2 |
60 meters | 10.40 - 12.50 μm | High-gain Thermal Infrared 1. This band has higher radiometric resolution (sensitivity), although it has a more restricted dynamic range. Resampled from 60m to 30m. |
