Product Description

MRLC2001 (Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics 2001) consists of a collection of terrain-corrected Landsat 7 ETM+ (Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus) and limited Landsat 5 TM (Thematic Mapper) scenes that have been acquired by the MRLC Consortium. Because of USGS restrictions on the distribution of terrain-corrected data, the MRLC2001 data is available to MRLC Consortium members and Approved USGS Researchers only.

The MRLC2001 data covers the conterminous U.S., Alaska, and Hawaii. The Landsat scenes are primarily 2000 imagery, although individual dates may range from 1999 to present. Multi-temporal scenes may also be available, depending on location. Most of the images are very high-quality, and cloud cover is generally less than 10%. The data will also include a 30-meter Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for all scenes that do not include international (Mexico or Canada) borders.

All MRLC2001 data is provided with the following standardized set of processing parameters:

Number of bands (Band designations) 8 (Landsat 7 ETM+)
7 (Landsat 5 TM)
Resolution 30 m (most bands)
15 m (Landsat 7 band 8)
Projection Albers Equal-Area Conic
Datum NAD83
Resampling cubic convolution
Format NDF (NLAPS Data format)
Media CD-ROM
