    Introduction to Landsat data used here

    -

    Since being released to the public, the Landsat data archive has become an invaluable tool for environmental monitoring. With a historical archive reaching back to the 1970’s, the release of these data has resulted in a spur of time series based methods. In this tutorial, we will work with time series data from the Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM+) sensor. Landsat scenes are delivered via the USGS as a number of image layers representing the different bands captured by the sensors. In the case of the Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM+) sensor, the bands are shown in the figure below. Using different combination of these bands can be useful in describing land features and change processes.

    Part of a Landsat scene, including bands 2-4 are included in the data provided here. These data have been processed using the LEDAPS framework, so the values contained in this dataset represent surface reflectance, scaled by 10000 (ie. divide by 10000 to get a reflectance value between 0 and 1).
