Landsat Thematic Mapper Imagery

Metadata:

The CPC Ecuador Spatial Database contains 24 Landsat TM scenes for four different Path/Row locations. The scenes span the time frame from 12/16/1984 to 11/15/1999. General metadata is below, containing information relevant to all scenes. Specific metadata follows, containing the details for each individual scene.

Abstract:
The Landsat TM data are multispectral, and are from the Landsat 5 platform. Each image contains seven spectral bands. The first three spectral bands correspond to the Blue, Green, and Red portions of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. Bands 4, 5 and 7 correspond to different portions of the Near Infrared region of the EM spectrum. Band 6 corresponds to the Thermal Infrared portion of the EM spectrum.
Source:
All scenes were acquired from NASA’s Earth Observing System (EOS), with the exception of two scenes acquired from CLIRSEN (Centro de Levantamientos Integrados de Recursos Naturales por Sensores Remotos) in Ecuador.

Band 1: 0.45 – 0.52
Band 2: 0.52 – 0.60
Band 3: 0.63 – 0.69
Band 4: 0.76 – 0.90
Band 5: 1.55 – 1.75
Band 6: 10.4 – 12.5
Band 7: 2.08 – 2.35
Radiometric Resolution:
