Landsat 8-9 Level-1

Coming later Landsat 8 and 9 Collection 2 Level-1: top-of-atmosphere reflectance and brightness temperature. It has the bands Level-2 leaves out: the 15 m panchromatic band 8, cirrus band 9 and thermal band 11.

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.

  • Use Level-2 for surface reflectance. Level-1 is for pan-sharpening, cirrus detection or the second thermal band.
  • 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.
