Details
- Single Landsat scene covers a 185 x 185 kilometer area with a 16-day revisit time
- Serves as unique resource for applications in agriculture, geology, forestry, regional planning, education, mapping, and global change research
- Landsat 7 satellite’s 15-meter panchromatic band can be merged with the 30-meter multispectral bands to create a 15-meter color composite
- Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LCDM), scheduled for launch in 2013, is next in Landsat series of satellites
Notes and Limitations: This is a 30-meter resolution data set that may not be suitable for local or site-specific management decisions that are usually made using high-resolution imagery.
