1. Landsat collection structure
The USGS produces data in 3 tiers (categories) for each satellite:
- Tier 1 (T1) - Data that meets geometric and radiometric quality requirements
- Tier 2 (T2) - Data that doesn’t meet the Tier 1 requirements
- Real Time (RT) - Data that hasn’t yet been evaluated (it takes as much as a month).
ID | Description |
---|---|
LANDSAT/LC08/C01/T1_RT | Landsat 8, Collection 1, Tier 1 + Real Time |
LANDSAT/LC08/C01/T1 | Landsat 8, Collection 1, Tier 1 only |
LANDSAT/LC08/C01/T2 | Landsat 8, Collection 1, Tier 2 only |
ID | Description |
---|---|
LANDSAT/LC08/C01/T1_RT_TOA | Landsat 8, Collection 1, Tier 1 + Real Time, TOA |
LANDSAT/LC08/C01/T1_TOA | Landsat 8, Collection 1, Tier 1 only, TOA |
LANDSAT/LC08/C01/T1_SR | Landsat 8, Collection 1, Tier 1 only, SR |
LANDSAT/LC08/C01/T2_TOA | Landsat 8, Collection 1, Tier 2 only, TOA |
LANDSAT/LC08/C01/T2_SR | Landsat 8, Collection 1, Tier 2 only, SR |
These data exist for Landsat 4, 5, 7, and 8. Replace ‘LC08’ in the above collection definitions with IDs from the following table to retrieve collections for the various satellites.
ID | Description |
---|---|
LT04 | Landsat 4, Thematic Mapper ™ |
LT05 | Landsat 5, Thematic Mapper ™ |
LE07 | Landsat 7, Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) |
LC08 | Landsat 8, Operational Land Imager (OLI) |
2.At-sensor radiance and TOA reflectance
-
"raw" 中包含带有数字(DN)的图像,这些数字表示缩放后的辐射度。The conversion of DNs to at-sensor radiance is a linear transformation using coefficients stored in scene metadata (Chander et al. 2009).
ee.Algorithms.Landsat.calibratedRadiance()
方法执行此转换。 -
转换为TOA反射率是一种线性转换,说明了太阳高度和季节性变化的地球与太阳之间的距离。 TOA转换由
ee.Algorithms.Landsat.TOA()
方法处理。 TOA方法将热带转换为亮度温度。See Chander et al. (2009) (or this USGS site for Landsat 8) for more information about computing TOA reflectance or brightness temperature.
