Mature Support Notice: This item is in mature support as of February 2024. A new version of this item is available for your use. This web application highlights some of the capabilities for accessing Landsat imagery layers, powered by ArcGIS for Server, accessing Landsat Public Datasets running on the Amazon Web Services Cloud. The layers are updated with new Landsat images on a daily basis. Created for you to visualize our planet and understand how the Earth has changed over time, the Esri Landsat Explorer app provides the power of Landsat satellites, which gather data beyond what the eye can see. Use this app to draw on Landsat's different bands to better explore the planet's geology, vegetation, agriculture, and cities. Additionally, access the entire Landsat archive to visualize how the Earth's surface has changed over the last forty years.Quick access to the following band combinations and indices is provided: Agriculture : Highlights agriculture in bright green; Bands 6, 5, 2Natural Color : Sharpened with 15m panchromatic band; Bands 4, 3, 2 +8Color Infrared : Healthy vegetation is bright red; Bands 5, 4 ,3 SWIR (Short Wave Infrared) : Highlights rock formations; Bands 7, 6, 4Geology : Highlights geologic features; Bands 7, 6, 2Bathymetric : Highlights underwater features; Bands 4, 3, 1Panchromatic : Panchromatic images at 15m; Band 8Vegetation Index : Normalized Difference Vegetation Index(NDVI); (Band 5 - Band 4)/(Band 5 + Band 4)Moisture Index : Normalized Difference Moisture Index (NDMI); (Band 5 - Band 6)/(Band 5 + Band 6)SAVI : Soil Adjusted Veg. Index); Offset + Scale(1.5(Band 5 - Band 4)/(Band 5 + Band 4 + 0.5))Water Index : Offset + Scale(Band 3 - Band 6)/(Band 3 + Band 6)Burn Index : Offset + Scale(Band 5 - Band 7)/(Band 5 + Band 7)Urban Index : Offset + Scale*(Band 5 - Band 6)/(Band 5 + Band 6)Optionally, you can also choose the "Custom Bands" or "Custom Index" option to create your own band combinations The Time tool enables access to a temporal time slider and a temporal profile of different indices for a selected point. The Time tool is only accessible at larger zoom scales. It provides temporal profiles for NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), NDMI (Normalized Difference Moisture Index) and Urban Index. The Identify tool enables access to information on the images, and can also provide a spectral profile for a selected point. The Stories tool will direct you to pre-selected interesting locations. The application is written using Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS accessing imagery layers using ArcGIS API for JavaScript. The following Imagery Layers are being accessed : Multispectral Landsat - Provides access to 30m 8-band multispectral imagery and a range of functions that provide different band combinations and indices.Pansharpened Landsat - Provides access to 15m 4-band (Red, Green, Blue and NIR) panchromatic-sharpened imagery.Panchromatic Landsat - Provides access to 15m panchromatic imagery. These imagery layers can be accessed through the public group Landsat Community on ArcGIS Online.
