AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
This dataset of Landsat 5 TM Collection 1 Tier 1 composites, deprecated and superseded by LANDSAT/COMPOSITES/C02/T1_L2_32DAY_EVI, contains Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) data.
-
The dataset spans from January 1, 1984, to April 6, 2012, with composites created from scenes within each 32-day period.
-
EVI is generated from the Near-IR, Red, and Blue bands with values ranging from -1.0 to 1.0 and a pixel size of 30 meters.
-
Landsat datasets are public domain, and the USGS should be acknowledged as the data source when used.

Description
These Landsat 5 TM Collection 1 Tier 1 composites are made from Tier 1 orthorectified scenes, using the computed top-of-atmosphere (TOA) reflectance. See Chander et al. (2009) for details on the TOA computation.
The Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) is generated from the Near-IR, Red and Blue bands of each scene, and ranges in value from -1.0 to 1.0. See Huete et al. (2002) for details.
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.
