The Landsat series is a joint USGS and NASA-led enterprise for Earth Observation that represents the world's longest running system of satellites for moderate-resolution optical remote sensing for land, coastal areas and shallow waters. The first Landsat mission was launched in , and was the first Earth Observation satellite with the goal. a single-date land cover map by classification of a cloud-free composite generated from Landsat images; and complete an accuracy assessment of the map output. The tools for completing this work will be done using a suite of open-source tools, mostly focusing on QGIS. The land cover map will be created by. Five Landsat 8 images, row and path 78, DOY /, 19/, 35/, / and / were used, from which ET at daily scale was estimated as a residual of the surface energy balance.

The Landsat 8 Data Users Handbook provides a basic understanding and associated reference material for the Landsat 8 Observatory and associated science data products.
