Newly Acquired Landsat 7 Scenes of Africa Available for Free
-
Apr. 1, 2008 • As Landsat 7 acquires clear scenes
over Africa (less than or equal to 20 percent cloud cover), the Landsat
Project is automatically processing those scenes to an L1T, applying
precision ground control and the SRTM DEM for geometric correction.
These scenes are accurate to within 30m. There are four areas of the
continent that are still under investigation due to poor geometric
adjustments (Nile region, two areas in southern Africa, Madagascar).
These will be reprocessed and come online in late May.
