Landsat Multispectral Scanner Imagery
Metadata:
The CPC Ecuador Spatial Database contains 5 Landsat MSS scenes for two different
Path/Row locations. The scenes span the time frame from 02/07/1973 to 12/08/1987.
General metadata is below, containing information relevant to all scenes.
Specific metadata follows, containing the details for each individual scene.
General Metadata:
- Abstract:
-
The Landsat MSS data are multispectral, and are from the Landsat 1 and Landsat 5
platforms. Each image contains five spectral bands. The first three spectral
bands correspond to the Blue, Green, and Red portions of the electromagnetic (EM)
spectrum. Band 4 corresponds to the Near Infrared portion of the EM spectrum.
Band 5 corresponds to the Thermal Infrared portion of the EM spectrum.
- Source:
-
All scenes were acquired from NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS).
- Spatial Resolution:
-
Bands 1-4: 79 meters
Band 5: 240 meters
- Spectral Bandwidth (μm):
-
Band 1: 0.50 - 0.60
Band 2: 0.60 - 0.70
Band 3: 0.70 - 0.80
Band 4: 0.80 - 1.10
Band 5: 10.4 - 12.6
- Radiometric Resolution:
-
All Bands: 8 bit
- Temporal Resolution:
-
Overpass Return Cycle: 16 days
- Horizontal Accuracy:
-
Images that have been geo-rectified all have a horizontal accuracy of ±40 meters.
Those images that have not been rectified have no quantifiable horizontal accuracy.
