- Abstract:
-
This data set is a raster file containing information for band 1 through band 8 for Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (Landsat 7 ETM+). The area of coverage is global.
- Purpose:
-
The mission of the Landsat-7 satellite is to provide a vehicle for continuing the flow of global change information to users worldwide. The Landsat-7 satellite fulfills its mission by providing repetitive, synoptic coverage of continental surfaces and by collecting data in spectral bands that include the visible, near-infrared, shortwave, and thermal infrared portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Landsat-7 mission objectives include: Maintaining Landsat data continuity by providing data that are consistent in terms of data acquisition, geometry, spatial resolution, calibration, coverage characteristics, and spectral characteristics with previous Landsat data. Generating and periodically refreshing a global archive of substantially cloud-free, Sun-lit, land-mass imagery. Continuing to make remote sensing satellite data available to domestic and international users and expanding the use of such data for global change research in both the Government and private commercial sectors. Promoting interdisciplinary research via synergism with other EOS observations, in particular, orbiting in tandem with the EOS Terra satellite for near coincident observations.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
The Landsat-7 system is another step in the development and application of remotely sensed satellite data for use in managing the Earth's land resources. As with earlier Landsat systems, the Landsat-7 platform, along with its enhanced thematic mapping sensor, provides for new capabilities in remote sensing of the Earth's land surface. Landsat-7 data are collected from a nominal altitude of 705 kilometers in a near-polar, near-circular, Sun-synchronous orbit at an inclination of 98.2 degrees, imaging the same 183-km swath of the Earth's surface every 16 days. Some of the browse images you encounter may appear black or empty. These are engineering data known as Full Aperture Calibrator (FAC) data. The FAC is a white painted panel that is deployed in front of the ETM+ aperture and diffusely reflects solar radiation into the full aperture of the instrument. The FAC scenes are typically gathered on a monthly basis and constitute roughly 5 to 7 scenes for each FAC collected. Eventually these engineering data will be gleaned out of the data base. Depending on the time of year, the solar azimuth angle with respect to the volocity vector of the ETM+ sensor, varies from 23 degrees to 37 degrees. This is the only area where FAC data will be collected.

The Landsat Program, as defined by Congress in 1992 and amended by Presidential Decision Directive/NSTC-3 in May 1994, is managed cooperatively by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the USGS. Responsibility for construction of the spacecraft and instrument lies with NASA. The Landsat Program is part of NASA's Earth Observing System global change initiative administered by NASA's Earth Science Enterprise. Data processing, archiving, and distribution are performed by the USGS. The primary ground station, the data handling facility and archive are located at the USGS EROS Data Center in Sioux Falls, SD. NASA will manage flight operations from the control center at the Goddard Space Flight Center until October 1, 2000, when responsibility for flight operations transfers to the USGS. The ground system will be able to distribute raw ETM+ data within 24 hours of its reception at the EROS Data Center. These functions are executed in coordination with the EDC Distributed Active Archive Center (EDC DAAC) of NASA's Earth Observing System Data and Information System.

The Landsat ETM+ sensor is a nadir-viewing, eight-band multispectral scanning radiometer that detects spectrally filtered radiation from several portions of the electromagnetic spectrum while orbiting the Earth from an altitude of 705 kilometers. Nominal ground sample distances or pixel sizes include 30 meters each for the six visible, near-infrared, and shortwave infrared bands, 60 meters for the thermal infrared band, and 15 meters for the panchromatic band. The ETM+ sensor is designed to produce approximately 3.8 gigabits of data for each Landsat scene. The Landsat ETM+ sensor operates from a 3-axis, stabilized satellite platform. Energy reflected from the Earth's surface passes through several ETM+ subsystems before being collected by the solid-state detectors at the focal plane. Landsat ETM+ Wavelength(micrometers) Band 1 0.45-0.52, Band 2 0.53-0.61, Band 3 0.63-0.69, Band 4 0.78-0.90, Band 5 1.55-1.75, Band 6 10.40-12.50, Band 7 2.09-2.35, and Band 8 .52-.90.

- Process_Description:
-
Data collected by the ETM+ sensor flown aboard the Landsat-7 satellite are in a raw format, meaning that radiometric and geometric corrections have not yet been applied to the data. Data collected in the raw format are level-0 data and equate to a Landsat-7 level-0R product. When a Landsat-7 level-0R product is radiometrically corrected, it is referred to as a level-1R product. Radiometric correction is performed either by using gains computed on the fly by the internal calibrator or by using gains available in the calibration parameter file. When a Landsat-7 level-0R product is both radiometrically and geometrically (systematically) corrected, it is referred to as a level-1G product. Correction algorithms model the spacecraft and the sensor, using data generated by onboard computers during imaging events. A level-1G product is a geometrically rectified product that is free from distortions related to the satellite platform , the sensor, and global Earth characteristics. Distortions due to the Earth's terrain are still present. Please see
