Page Summary
-
This dataset, which contains Landsat 5 TM Collection 1 Tier 1 32-Day NDVI composites, has been superseded by LANDSAT/COMPOSITES/C02/T1_L2_32DAY_NDVI.
-
The dataset spans from January 1, 1984, to April 6, 2012, and is provided by Google.
-
Composites are created from all scenes in each 32-day period using the most recent pixel value.
-
The dataset includes a single band,
NDVI, which measures the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index. -
Landsat datasets are in the public domain and can be used, transferred, or reproduced without copyright restrictions, with acknowledgement of the USGS as the data source being appreciated.

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 Normalized Difference Vegetation Index is generated from the Near-IR and Red bands of each scene as (NIR - Red) / (NIR + Red), and ranges in value from -1.0 to 1.0.
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.
