Return to all Landsat Headlines

 

Chesapeake Bay is shown in this Surface Reflectance composite image, created using data from five Landsat 8 scenes acquired in October and November 2014. 

USGS Landsat Collection 2 Level-2 surface reflectance and surface temperature data processing requires atmospheric auxiliary data from multiple external sources. The required external data is extracted from the original source data and the parameters specific to generating a Collection 2 Level-2 product are then repackaged and made available for download. 

NOTE: Collection 2 Level-2 surface reflectance and surface temperature standard products are easily downloadable from EarthExplorer; it is not necessary for users to download the atmospheric auxiliary data to use Level-2 products. 

Please visit the Landsat Collection 2 Atmospheric Auxiliary Data for more information, and contact USGS Customer Services with any questions:  custserv@usgs.gov.
