Orthorectified Landsat ETM+ Scenes for the Legal Amazon

LBA-ECO LC-10 provides orthorectified Landsat ETM+ satellite scenes covering the Legal Amazon region. At least one cloud-minimized scene is available for each spatial tile, with data collected from July 8, 1999 to November 13, 2001. The dataset, processed by ORNL_CLOUD, includes atmospherically corrected multispectral, thermal, and panchromatic bands.

Use Cases

• Analyzing land cover classification using six multispectral bands.
• Assessing surface temperature patterns via the two thermal bands.
• Monitoring deforestation and land-use change with high-resolution, cloud-minimized imagery.
• Conducting time-series analysis of specific locations using scenes from 1999 to 2001.
• Validating ecological models with orthorectified and atmospherically corrected geospatial data.

Strengths

• Scenes are selected for minimal cloud cover, enhancing usability for surface analysis.
• Data is pre-processed with atmospheric correction and orthorectification.
• Covers the entire Legal Amazon region with at least one scene per spatial tile.
• Includes multiple data layers: six multispectral, two thermal, and one panchromatic band.

Limitations

• Sources conflict on the last updated date (2001-11-13 vs. 2026-03 13).
• Scene dates are not continuous, preventing seamless temporal mosaicking.
• Exact row count, total size, and specific license terms are not provided.
