Landsat 4 TM Collection 1 Tier 1 8-Day Raw Composite

  • The Landsat 4 TM Collection 1 Tier 1 8-Day Raw Composite dataset provides 30-meter resolution imagery from August 21, 1982, to December 11, 1993.

  • The dataset comprises 8-day composites of Landsat 4 TM scenes, utilizing the raw digital number (DN) values for at-sensor radiance.

  • Each composite includes all scenes from an 8-day period, prioritizing the most recent pixel for the composite value.

  • Bands include blue, green, red, near-infrared, two shortwave infrared, thermal infrared, and a quality assessment band.

  • The dataset is publicly available and may be used without copyright restrictions, but USGS acknowledgement is requested.

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.
