Landsat 7 ETM+ Level-2

Coming later Landsat 7 carried the Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+). This collection is its Collection 2 Level-2 archive from USGS: surface reflectance from six bands and surface temperature from the thermal band. The scan line corrector failed on 31 May 2003, so later scenes have wedge-shaped strips of missing data.

Schema v1 defines this collection, but lean v1 does not serve it yet. Requests for it answer 404 unknown-collection. GET /v1/collections will list it once it is live.

  • Revisit 16 days, swath 185 km, WRS-2 path and row, as for Landsat 8 and 9.
  • Same scale and offset as Landsat 8-9: reflectance = DN × 0.0000275 − 0.2; temperature in kelvin = DN × 0.00341802 + 149.0.
  • ETM+ has no coastal and no cirrus band, and its near-infrared band SR_B4 is broader than OLI’s.
  • Earth Search indexes Landsat 7 in the same landsat-c2-l2 collection as Landsat 8 and 9. That is why the landsat-c2-l2 alias means Landsat 8 and 9 only in lean v1.
  • The time span is what schema v1 expects. The live collection document will publish the extent measured from the index.
  • Phases refer to the build plan; see the Data overview.
