Landsat 4 TM Annual TOA Reflectance Composite [deprecated]

  • This Landsat 4 TM dataset provides annual top-of-atmosphere (TOA) reflectance composites from 1982 to 1993.

  • The dataset is deprecated and users should switch to the Collection 1-based dataset: LANDSAT/LT04/C01/T1_ANNUAL_TOA.

  • Images are orthorectified with 30-meter resolution and include bands for blue, green, red, near-infrared, shortwave infrared, and thermal infrared.

  • Landsat data is public domain but requires acknowledgement of the USGS as the data source.

  • The dataset is available in Google Earth Engine and is free to use for research, education, and nonprofit purposes.

Description

These Landsat 4 TM composites are made from Level L1T orthorectified scenes, using the computed top-of-atmosphere (TOA) reflectance. See Chander et al. (2009) for details on the TOA computation.

As of May 1, 2017, the USGS is no longer producing Pre-Collection Landsat, and therefore this collection is complete. Please switch to a Collection 1-based dataset. See this documentation page for more information.

These composites are created from all the scenes in each annual period beginning from the first day of the year and continuing to the last day of the year. All the images from each year are included in the composite, with the most recent pixel as the composite value.
