Description
The Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica (LIMA) is a seamless and virtually cloudless mosaic created from processed Landsat 7 ETM+ scenes.
This LIMA dataset is the 16-bit Intermediate LIMA. The mosaic consists of pan-sharpened normalized surface reflectance scenes (Landsat ETM+ bands 1, 2, 3, and 4). The mosaic was constructed by ordering cloud free images on top and trimming image boundaries when tile discontinuities occurred.
Users can find the mosaic tile footprints available at: USGS/LIMA/MOSAIC_TILE_FOOTPRINTS
