Click on the Landsat footprint for
a listing of available data:
Note: This site provides HTTP file
transfer access to the TexasView public Landsat archives.
A more robust, "visual" presentation of these data
is available through TexasView
GloVis. These data may be freely
downloaded and used by anyone. The site is provided as a public
service by the Forest Resources Institute (FRI), Stephen
F. Austin State University(SFASU), in cooperation with
the TexasView Remote Sensing Consortium, The Texas
Natural Resources Information System (TNRIS) and the Center
for Space Research(CSR) at the University of Texas in
Austin.
Landsat data on this site are provided
in multiple formats and are organized by Path/Row. Each available
scene for a particular path/row is archived in a seperate
directory structure. Clicking on a path/row in the map above
will take you to an FTP directory containing a subdirectory
that scene. The subdirectory names reflect the acquisition
data of the scene contained within it, organized by year and
day of year. If you prefer a month-day-year notation, please
use TexasView
Glovis.
At present, four Landsat
data sets are available through this interface, Landsat
7 ETM+ data, Landsat
4 and 5 Thematic Mapper(TM) data, the Landsat
ETM+ Ortho product, and North
American Land Chariterization (NALC). Select
the desired dataset using the pull-down menu above the map.
Not all data sets include data for all path/rows. You will
get a "No Data Available" response if you click
on a path/row for which we currently have no data of the selected
type. If this happens, please select another data set and
try again..
SCENE FOLDER CONTENTS
Folder contents vary with the data sets. Landsat Ortho
and NALC data have only one scene (one triplicate scene in
the case of NALC) for each path/row. The other data sets may
contain many scenes acquired on different dates, organized
by year and day-of-year. A simple Moth/Day/Year to Day-of-year
converter can be found HERE.
Within the scene folder, various data
formats are avaialble. All data is available in NLAPS format.
Many scenes are also available in three band geotiff and Jpeg
formats. Other format, such as ERDAS .IMG.
FILE NAMING CONVENTION:
The file naming conventions vary by data sets. NLAPS data
retains the original NLAPS naming. Derived products, such
as the three and conposite geotiff and jpeg files use the
following naming convention:
p25r37_1999_11_14_321.tif
p25r37 - Path 25, Row 37
1999_11_14 - the acquisition date
321 - bands 3, 2, 1
.tif - TIFF file format
In some cases the file name may be
too long to display completely in your browser. Usually, it
is only the extension that is missing. Remembering that the
TIFF World file (.tfw) will be listed before the TIFF data
file (.tif) will help.
A better discovery tool for some of
these data is available through TexasView
GloVis, particularly if you are uncertain which
scenes you are interested in. Please give it a try. Please
note that at present, the TexasView GloVIS instance does not
contain the Landsat ETM+ Ortho or NALC data sets. |
