Geoscience Australia is distributing Landsat MSS, TM and ETM+ data for 15 epochs or time frames ranging from 1972 to 2006 covering Australia. This data has been provided by the Department of Climate Change formerly known as the Australian Greenhouse Office (AGO). The data is used in the National Carbon Accounting System for monitoring land clearing and revegetation. This data is only available through us and our Landsat distributors, and not through the Department of Climate Change.
Epochs are available as 1:1M tiles or as a Continental mosaic in the following formats:
| Epoch | Projection | Bands | File Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| All | MGA94 | All bands except Band 6 (thermal) | ERS/BIL |
| 2004, 2005 & 2006 | Geographic | All bands except Band 6 (thermal) | ERS/BIL |
| Pre 2004 | Geographic | Bands 543 for TM & ETM+ and all bands for MSS | ERS/BIL |
| 2002 | MGA94 | Panchromatic only | ERS/BIL |
| 2002 | Geographic | Panchromatic only | ERS/BIL |
| Epoch | Projection | Bands | File Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| All | Geographic | 543/RGB bands for TM, ETM+ and MSS | ECW |
| 2002 Panchromatic Sharpened | Geographic | Bands 543 plus Panchromatic band | ECW |
File sizes of the data are significant in volume and limit distribution media to either customer supplied USB 2.0 hard disk drive/s (see freighting your USB, below) for large orders or DVDs (max 10 per order) for smaller orders. All file sizes are metric ie. 1,000,000,000 bytes equals 1Gb. Examples of data sizes are:
See the list below for the total size in Gb for each epoch.
*Includes date and boundary (datebound) data.
| Sensor/Epoch | Landsat TM and ETM+ SLC-Off: 2006; Landsat MSS: 1972, 1977, 1980, 1985, 1988; Landsat TM: 1989*, 1991, 1992, 1995, 1998, 2004 and 2005; and Landsat ETM+: 2000 and 2002. *Includes simulated MSS from Landsat TM (MGA projection only). |
|---|---|
| Projection | Either MGA94 OR Geographic. |
| Bands | All bands except thermal bands - MGA coordinates; All bands except thermal bands - Geographical coordinates, 2004, 2005 & 2006 epochs; 5,4,3 for TM & ETM+ and all bands for MSS - Geographical coordinates, Pre 2004 epochs only; Panchromatic band available separately only for 2002 epoch - MGA & Geographical coordinates. |
| Processing | Ortho-corrected, radiometrically corrected and mosaiced into tiles. All data is calibrated to a common geographic and spectral base (AGO year 2000 base). Note: Single scene boundaries can be quite obvious within a tile due mainly to the seasonal changes associated with different acquisition dates. Details of the processing characteristics are available from Technical Report No. 9. |
| Tiling system | Tiles approximate 1:1 million map sheets covering Australia. Most tiles contain overlap beyond the quoted extents. |
| Coverage | View a detailed map of the 1972 to 2005 epoch extents. Download an ESRI shapefile of the date and boundary (datebound) of each Landsat scene used to produce the epochs from 1972 to 2005. The introduction of SLC-Off and bumper mode Landsat products for the 2006 epoch has meant that a new method has been required for creating datebound information. |
| Pixel size | 25 metres TM and ETM+ and 50 metres MSS. |
| Format | Generic BIL files with ER Mapper ASCII header. |
| File size | Variable - see detailed list. Tiles split into quadrants. |
| Media | USB 2.0 hard disk drive or DVD-R. Dependent on data volume of order. |
Prices are based on supply in either MGA or Geographical projection format only.
One tile equals a 1:1M area by one epoch.
