USGS Fact Sheet 2015–3034: Landsat Surface Reflectance Data

Landsat Surface Reflectance Data

By U.S. Geological Survey

Abstract

Landsat satellite data have been produced, archived, and distributed by the U.S. Geological Survey since 1972. Users rely on these data for historical study of land surface change and require consistent radiometric data processed to the highest science standards. In support of the guidelines established through the Global Climate Observing System, the U.S. Geological Survey has embarked on production of higher-level Landsat data products to support land surface change studies. One such product is Landsat surface reflectance.
