Landsat Multispectral Scanner Image

Metadata:

The CPC Ecuador Spatial Database contains 5 Landsat MSS scenes for two different Path/Row locations. The scenes span the time frame from 02/07/1973 to 12/08/1987. General metadata is below, containing information relevant to all scenes. Specific metadata follows, containing the details for each individual scene.

Abstract:
The Landsat MSS data are multispectral, and are from the Landsat 1 and Landsat 5 platforms. Each image contains five spectral bands. The first three spectral bands correspond to the Blue, Green, and Red portions of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. Band 4 corresponds to the Near Infrared portion of the EM spectrum. Band 5 corresponds to the Thermal Infrared portion of the EM spectrum.
Source:
All scenes were acquired from NASA’s Earth Observing System (EOS).
Spatial Resolution:
Bands 1-4: 79 meters
Band 5: 240 meters
Spectral Bandwidth (μm):
Band 1: 0.50 – 0.60
Band 2: 0.60 – 0.70
Band 3: 0.70 – 0.80
Band 4: 0.80 – 1.10
Band 5: 10.4 – 12.6
Radiometric Resolution:
