Landsat Data Characteristicsand Holdings July 30, 2012 Presented By: Keith Alberts USGS Landsat Ground System Lead
Landsat Mission • Ensure collection of consistently calibrated Earth imagery • Provide long term, repetitive observations of the Earth’s land mass, coastal boundaries, and coral reefs • Detect and characterize natural and human induced change
Satellites • Satellite Performance • Landsat 5 continues to provide data after 28 years in orbit! • Landsat 5 design life expectancy was only 2-3 years • Over 1.2 million scenes in the U.S. archive • Landsat 7 began 14th year in orbit on April 15, 2012! • Landsat 7 design life expectancy was only 5 years • Over 1.5 million scenes in the U.S. archive • Continued coverage for International Stations (currently 4 stations)

U.S. Landsat Archive Overview (July 2, 2012) • ETM+: Landsat 7 • 1,420,626scenes • ~1,319 TB Raw and L0Ra Data average scene size 487 MB • TM: Landsat 4 & Landsat 5 • 1,277,915 scenes • ~641 TB Raw and L0Ra Data average scene size 263 MB • MSS: Landsat 1 through 5 • 608,642 scenes • ~37 TB Raw and L0Ra Data average scene size 32 MB • Total: • 3,307,183 scenes • ~1,997 TB Raw and L0Ra Data
Changes to Operations Concept • Processing and Distribution Systems • Major operations concept shift (began with a pilot in FY07) to “Web-enable” the Landsat archive • ALL Landsat products are now distributed to users via the internet at no cost • No media distribution option is available • Users could previously select from many processing parameters – only one set of parameters is now available • Over 10% of the archive (>350,000 scenes) are processed, stored on-line, and available for immediate download • All other data are available for “on-demand” processing
Whoareour users? • 180+ countries
Fun Fact • Scene most downloaded in April 2012 • California Coastline • TM, P45:R33 • Acquired Oct. 2011
Landsat Data Distribution Concept • Process and Distribute data freely to users • Process new data (currently <100% cloud cover) automatically for immediate download and retain on ftp server for approximately 3 months • Process requests on-demand for older data • Single Processing Parameter Recipe • Pixel size: 15m/30m • Media type: Download only • Product type: L1T (precision- and terrain-corrected) • Output format: GeoTIFF • Map projection: UTM • Orientation: North up • Resampling: Cubic convolution
LandsatLook • Band combinations • OLI: 6,5,4 • ETM+ & TM: 5,4,3 • MSS: 2,4,1 • Data values • Top of Atmosphere Reflectance • Image format • 3-band RGB JPEG • Georeference information in World & GDAL XML file • JPEG and georeference files zipped for download • File size is approximately 5 MB • Pixel size is retained

Landsat Standard Product Evolution • Improve registration • Ground Control Point analysis – seasonal, historical, stable • Increase percentage of L1T • Independent verification of geometry • Increase archive • Orphan and Global Archive Consolidation • Improve metadata • Land ACCA score • Level 1 searchable and product metadata • Product integration with Landsat 8 • GIS-ready visual product • TOA reflectance • Cloud/quality band • Data access • Increase number of images online • Decrease on-demand lag time • Continue to provide best possible geometry and radiometry
Verification of Geometric Accuracy An example JPEG image along with Product Path/Row : 128/18 (WRS-1) Legend : Green - RMSE <= 0.5 pixel Cyan - 0.5 < RMSE <= 1 pixel Blue - 1 < RMSE <= 2 pixel Yellow - 2 < RMSE <= 3 pixel Red - RMSE > 3 pixel GVERIFY_RMSE : 0.57 pixels
Landsat MSS Orphans • What is an MSS Orphan? • Intervals of L1-3 data that are missing ephemeris information (scene center, lat/lon, spacecraft atitude, sun elevation/azimuth, sensor gain, etc.) • Ephemeris data store on separate tape (9-track) during that era • Completed recovery of the orphan data! • Over 170,000 full scenes recovered • 106,335 NEW scenes added to the US archive
Landsat Global Archive Consolidation: Goals & Assumptions • Consolidate Landsat Acquisitions from all ground stations into a single consistently calibrated, georegistered, formatted, and documented global archive that will be shared at no cost and with no restrictions to the global user community • Often unknown physical organization, radiometry and geometry • Often Orphan-like - data unpacking, framing challenges, etc. • Some may be partially processed causing a calibration challenge. • Orphan, MSS, Cross-calibration, and Gaussian Pyramid research greatly assist the LGAC activity. • Over 771,000 full scenes added to the archive so far • Over 385,000 are unique!
Global Landsat Survey Coverage 1975 1990 2000
GLS1990 • Original survey • 7,400 scenes • Received processed data, then re-processed to a similar format • Requires reprocessing • Raw data requested from ICs • Expect over 95% of original scenes • Update radiometry and geometry
Landsat 7 LTAP constraints • Acquire 400/day with continued cooperation with ICs to increase acquisitions • ETM+ duty cycle • Number of download opportunities and solid state recorder management • SLC-off: image pair
