Each image shows a Landsat false color composite in UTM projection. The R/G/B layers correspond to TM/ETM+ bands 7/4/2. Each pixel is 30x30 meters in area and most images are 30x30 km in area. A 2% linear stretch has been applied to the images. The Landsat data files contain six reflected bands of calibrated exoatmospheric reflectance stored in ENVI band sequential (BSQ) format. Geographic coordinates are included in the header files. The data files contain 1000x1000x6 4 byte floating point numbers as indicated in the header files. Purpose: To serve a wide user community by providing composite Landsat images and raw data for urban areas that can be used in interdisciplinary studies of remote sensing and the environment. Supplemental_Information: Further information is available from the Landsat Data Users Handbook. The Landsat data files (w/o extensions) are in binary format that should be readable by many different software packages. The header files (.hdr) contain the geographic coordinates and pixel dimensions in ENVI format. Storing the header information in a separate file allows many different packages to share the same data file, thereby saving considerable storage space.The data files are band sequential (BSQ) 4 byte floating point stored as row, column and band. Knowing the dimensions, bit depth and order is all that is necessary to open the binary file.
