Landsat TM remote sensing dataset over Western China (1980‘s)- A Big Earth Data Platform for Three Poles

Zoom in

This dataset is TM remote sensing data covers western China, around the 1980s.

Data attributes:

Pixel Size: 30-meter reflective: Bands 1-5 and 7

60-meter thermal: Band 6

Output Format: GeoTIFF

Resampling method: cubic convolution (CC)
