The data contained in the zip Landsat data files below includes raw input data for 28 urban areas around the world along with a readme.txt file.
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 file. The data file contains 1000x1000x6 4 byte floating point numbers as indicated in the header.
Further information is available from the Landsat 7 Science Data Users Handbook.
