Description

Landsat 7 Collection 2 Tier 1 and Real-Time data DN values, representing scaled, calibrated at-sensor radiance.

Landsat scenes with the highest available data quality are placed into Tier 1 and are considered suitable for time-series processing analysis. Tier 1 includes Level-1 Precision Terrain (L1TP) processed data that have well-characterized radiometry and are inter-calibrated across the different Landsat sensors. The georegistration of Tier 1 scenes will be consistent and within prescribed tolerances [<=12 m root mean square error (RMSE)]. All Tier 1 Landsat data can be considered consistent and inter-calibrated (regardless of sensor) across the full collection. See more information in the USGS docs.

The T1_RT collection contains both Tier 1 and Real-Time (RT) assets. Newly-acquired Landsat 7 ETM+ and Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS data are processed upon downlink but use predicted ephemeris, initial bumper mode parameters, or initial TIRS line of sight model parameters. The data is placed in the Real-Time tier and made available for immediate download. Once the data have been reprocessed with definitive ephemeris, updated bumper mode parameters and refined TIRS parameters, the products are transitioned to either Tier 1 or Tier 2 and removed from the Real-Time tier. The transition delay from Real-Time to Tier 1 or Tier 2 is between 14 and 26 days.

Note that Landsat 7's orbit has been drifting to an earlier acquisition time since 2017.
