Landsat 8 normally images all Earth landmasses every 16 days. As a result, this increases the temporal frequency of Landsat 8 coverage over northern Greenland. The two Landsat 8 images were acquired a little over 3 hours apart, one on its descending orbit and one ascending.
Having multiple images increases the chances of acquiring more cloud-free images and helps scientists monitor iceberg calving events. This Landsat 8 image from May 24, , shows an enthralling New Zealand landscape. Tongariro National Park surrounds snow-capped Mount Ruapehu on the right, and the boundary of forested Egmont National Park forms a nearly perfect circle on the left.
Mount Taranaki marks the center of the park, which is surrounded by green farmland. The white running through the middle of the scene is fog accompanying the Whanganui River. The scene was downloaded on March 9, , one of over 29, Landsat scenes downloaded worldwide that day.
These downloads help researchers conduct countless land change studies and provide essential information to help land managers and policy makers make wise decisions about our resources and our environment.
