New collections available: Cloud Free Landsat-5 TM and Landsat-7 ETM+ European and Mediterranean Countries
Two new data collections, Landsat-5 TM Cloud Free and Landsat-7 ETM Cloud Free collections, are available through the ESA Third Party Missions programme.
Data - Data Description
Landsat 7 ETM+ European and Mediterranean Countries Cloud Free Collection
This dataset contains the cloud-free products from Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper collection acquired over Europe, North Africa and the Middle East; for each scene only one product is selected, with the minimal cloud coverage. The Landsat 7 ETM+ scenes typically cover 185 x 170 km. A standard full scene is nominally centred on the intersection between a Path and Row (the actual image centre can vary by up to 100 m). The data are system corrected.
