Description
These Landsat 4 TM 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 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.
