Das Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica (LIMA) ist ein nahtloses und nahezu wolkenfreies Mosaik, das aus verarbeiteten Landsat 7 ETM+-Szenen erstellt wurde.
Verarbeitete Landsat-Szenen (16 Bit) sind Level 1Gt NLAPS-Szenen, die in 16 Bit konvertiert, mit Sonnenwinkelkorrektur verarbeitet und in Reflexionswerte konvertiert wurden (Bindschadler 2008).
Jede Landsat-Szene wird mit Höhendaten und Sonnenwinkelkorrektur verarbeitet, um sicherzustellen, dass Oberflächenmerkmale korrekt dargestellt werden. Der Winkel der Sonne in der Antarktis erweckt den Eindruck einer untergehenden Sonne. Aufgrund des niedrigen Sonnenwinkels, wenn Landsat über die Antarktis fliegt, erscheinen die äußeren Ränder des Kontinents heller als die Gebiete näher am Südpol. Die Szenen haben also helle und dunkle Bereiche.
Inkonsistente Sonnenwinkel und Schatten wurden für diese Szenen korrigiert. Ohne diesen Prozess würde beim Mosaiking ein Flickenteppich aus Szenen entstehen, da jede Szene eine hellere und eine dunklere Seite hätte.
Dies ist eine Tabelle mit Metadaten für die Bildsammlung USGS/LIMA/SR.

The sun's angle in Antarctica\ngives the appearance of a setting sun. Because of the low\nsun angle, as Landsat passes over Antarctica, the outer\nedges of the continent appear brighter than areas closer\nto the South Pole, so scenes have bright and dark areas.\nInconsistent sun angles and shadows where corrected for\nthese scenes. Without this process, mosaicking would produce\na patchwork of scenes since each scene would have a brighter\nand a darker side.\n\nThis is a table which contains metadata for the Image Collection\n[USGS/LIMA/SR](/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/USGS_LIMA_SR)\n\n### Table Schema\n\n**Table Schema**\n\n| Name | Type | Description |\n|----------|--------|-------------------------------------------|\n| ACQ_DATE | STRING | Acquisition date in YYYY-MM-DD format |\n| PATH | INT | WRS path |\n| POLY_ID | INT | Unique ID assigned to a polygon |\n| ROW | INT | WRS row |\n| SCENE_ID | STRING | Scene ID |\n| SENSOR | STRING | Sensor |\n| SPACE | STRING | Name of the satellite used to gather data |\n\n### Terms of Use\n\n**Terms of Use**\n\nThese images are in the public domain and can be used freely\nand without acknowledgement.
