Featured Surface Radiative Properties Observation Method: OLI
The Operational Land Imager (OLI) flies aboard NASA's Landsat 8 satellite, and an identical instrument, OLI-2, flies aboard Landsat 9. It measures in the visible, near infrared, and shortwave infrared portions of the spectrum, covering wide areas of Earth's landscape. Data products derived from OLI include a surface reflectance product.
Use NASA's Application for Extracting and Exploring Analysis Ready Samples (AppEEARS) tool to access data for an area of interest.
Launched September 27, Landsat 9 will provide a high-quality and reliable stream of land imaging data for the next 10-plus years.
