GeoCover Landsat imagery covers the most of Earth surface between 80dN and 60dS. For each degree intersection in between, GLCF created a subset of 20km-by-20km. The subset is applied to all the bands of Landsat ETM+. The resulting images are saved in GeoTIFF formats,with the previews generated using the 7-4-2 and 4-3-2 band combinations at the same time. This data set is created for the user to sample the Earth using GeoCover imagery without downloading the whole Landsat scenes.
