Wyoming Remote Sensing Data from Multiple Satellite Sensors

WyomingView consortium provides satellite imagery from five distinct sensor systems, including Thematic Mapper 5 (TM5) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). The consortium is led by the Wyoming Geographic Information Science Center (WYGISC) and the University of Wyoming to support education and research. The data's specific temporal coverage and row count are not detailed in the provided metadata.

Use Cases

• Land cover classification based on multispectral data from Thematic Mapper and Enhanced Thematic Mapper sensors
• Environmental change detection over time using time-series data from MODIS and ASTER
• High-resolution mapping and analysis using orthophotos available through the Digital Orthophoto Browser

Strengths

• Data originates from five established satellite sensor systems, including TM5, ETM7, MODIS, and ASTER.
• Managed by a consortium led by a state Geographic Information Science Center and a university, suggesting institutional oversight.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
