Landsat 5 TM Collection 1 Tier 1 8-Day Raw Composite

  • The dataset consists of Landsat 5 TM Collection 1 Tier 1 8-day raw composites from 1984 to 2012.

  • These composites are made from Tier 1 orthorectified scenes using scaled, calibrated at-sensor radiance values.

  • Composites are created from all scenes within each 8-day period, with the most recent pixel being the composite value.

  • The dataset includes various bands representing different wavelengths, such as blue, green, red, near infrared, and shortwave infrared.

  • Landsat datasets are public domain and can be used, transferred, or reproduced without copyright restriction, with acknowledgement of USGS as the data source recommended.

Description

These Landsat 5 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.
