TITLE: ENHANCED THEMATIC MAPPER PLUS SATELLITE IMAGERY PANCHROMATIC - 1999

Geodataset Name:     TM99_PAN
Geodataset Type:     Image
Geodataset Feature:  Image

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

These datasets contain satellite imagery collected from the Landsat series of satellites, using the Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) sensor. These ETM+ images are made up of 15m pixels.

RESOLUTION:                     15 meter

DATA SOURCE(S):                 Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC)

SCALE OF ORIGINAL SOURCE MAPS:  N/A

DATE OF AUTOMATION OR SOURCE:   1999

GEODATASET EXTENT:              State of Florida

USER NOTES:

The Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) replicates the capabilities of the highly successful Thematic Mapper instruments on Landsats 4 and 5*. The ETM+ also includes new features that make it a more versatile and efficient. The ETM+ instrument is a fixed "whisk-broom", eight-band, multispectral scanning radiometer capable of providing high-resolution imaging information of the Earth's surface. It detects spectrally-filtered radiation in VNIR, SWIR, LWIR and panchromatic bands from the sun-lit Earth in a 183 km wide swath when orbiting at an altitude of 705 km. An ETM+ scene will have an Instantaneous Field Of View (IFOV) of 30 square meters in bands 1-5 and 7 while band 6 will have an IFOV of 60 square meters on the ground and the new band 8 an IFOV of 15 square meters. TMpan is represented here by band 8, rendering a black and white image that is sensitive to all visible colors.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

TMpan's zero values have been recoded to a value of one. This was accomplished using the Recode tool in the GIS Analysis section of the Image Interpreter in ERDAS Imagine 8.5. These images are from 1999.
