Landsat Collection 1 Level 1 Product Definition

Executive Statement To support analysis of the Landsat long-term data record that began in 1972, the USGS Landsat data archive was reorganized into a formal tiered data collection structure. This structure ensures all Landsat Level 1 products provide a consistent archive of known data quality to support time-series analysis and data “stacking”, while controlling continuous improvement of the archive, and access to all data as they are acquired. Collection 1 Level 1 processing began in August 2016 and continued until all archived data was processed, completing May 2018. Newly-acquired Landsat 8 and Landsat 7 data continue to be processed into Collection 1 shortly after data is downlinked to USGS EROS.Learn more: https://www.usgs.gov/media/files/landsat-collection-1-level-1-product-definition
