A collection of Landsat Thematic Mapper satellite scenes accessible via a dynamic clickable map interface. The library is maintained by Cornell University's Institute for the Study of the Continents under the Cornell Middle East, North Africa, and South America Project. The temporal coverage and total scene count are not specified in the provided information.
Use Cases
- Analyzing land cover changes over time using the multi-spectral bands of Landsat TM scenes.
- Training land classification models using the georeferenced satellite imagery from the library.
- Conducting regional environmental studies by selecting scenes via the interactive map for specific locations.
- Creating composite imagery for large-area analysis by mosaicking multiple scenes from the Middle East, North Africa, and South America.
Strengths
- Data is sourced from the established Landsat Thematic Mapper satellite program.
- Provides an interactive map for visual discovery and location-based scene selection.
- Focuses on specific geographic regions: Middle East, North Africa, and South America.
Limitations
- The total number of scenes, image resolution, and available spectral bands are unknown.
- The temporal range and update frequency for the image library are not specified.
- Potential data gaps or inconsistencies may exist due to the project-specific curation scope.
