AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
This page provides access to USGS Landsat 9 Collection 2 data, including Tier 1 and Tier 2 raw scenes, and Tier 2 top-of-atmosphere (TOA) reflectance.
-
Landsat 9 Collection 2 Tier 1 data represents the highest quality scenes suitable for time-series analysis, while Tier 2 includes scenes that did not meet Tier 1 criteria.
-
Both Tier 1 and Tier 2 raw scenes provide scaled, calibrated at-sensor radiance, represented as Digital Number (DN) values.
-
Landsat 9 Collection 2 Tier 2 TOA reflectance data is calibrated and derived from the image metadata, offering insights into surface reflectance.
-
USGS Landsat 9 Collection 2 Tier 1 Raw Scenes
Landsat 9 Collection 2 Tier 1 DN values, representing scaled, calibrated at-sensor radiance. Landsat scenes with the highest available data quality are placed into Tier 1 and are considered suitable for time-series processing analysis. Tier 1 includes Level-1 Precision Terrain (L1TP) processed data that have … c2 global l9 landsat lc9 oli-tirs -
USGS Landsat 9 Collection 2 Tier 2 Raw Scenes
Landsat 9 Collection 2 Tier 2 DN values, representing scaled, calibrated at-sensor radiance. Scenes not meeting Tier 1 criteria during processing are assigned to Tier 2. This includes Systematic terrain (L1GT) and Systematic (L1GS) processed scenes, as well as any L1TP scenes that do not … c2 global l9 landsat lc9 oli-tirs -
USGS Landsat 9 Collection 2 Tier 2 TOA Reflectance
Landsat 9 Collection 2 Tier 2 calibrated top-of-atmosphere (TOA) reflectance. Calibration coefficients are extracted from the image metadata. See Chander et al. (2009) for details on the TOA computation. Scenes not meeting Tier 1 criteria during processing are assigned to Tier 2. This includes Systematic … c2 global l9 landsat lc9 satellite-imagery
