Landsat 4-5 TM Level-2

Coming later Landsat 4 and 5 carried the Thematic Mapper (TM). This collection is their Collection 2 Level-2 archive from USGS: surface reflectance from six bands and surface temperature from the thermal band, the longest run of 30 m surface reflectance in the Landsat record.

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 per satellite, swath 185 km, WRS-2 path and row.
  • Same scale and offset as the other Landsat Level-2 collections.
  • The thermal band was acquired at 120 m and is delivered at 30 m.
  • 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.
