-
The USGS Landsat 2 MSS Collection 2 provides Tier 1 and Tier 2 Raw Scene datasets, containing scaled and calibrated at-sensor radiance values.
-
Tier 1 data represents the highest quality Landsat scenes suitable for time-series analysis, including Level-1 Precision Terrain (L1TP) processed data.
-
Tier 2 data includes scenes not meeting Tier 1 criteria, such as Systematic terrain (L1GT) and Systematic (L1GS) processed scenes, and any L1TP scenes with quality issues.
-
Both datasets offer global coverage and are tagged with c2, l2, landsat, lm2, and mss for easy identification and filtering within Earth Engine.
