Landsat Thematic Mapper Bands

Here is some raw data that can be downloaded. The raw data doesn't look very good but it may be scaled after it is retrieved. The displayed images are 256 x 256. Clicking on the image accesses a 512 x 512 image. The scaled versions are given to better show the image content. The listed scaling is intended to be only an example.

Set load to local disk in the options menu.
Then click on the desired raw data image.

Also shown are histograms for the raw data and the same data scaled as indicated.

Note that the wavelength range covered by band 6 is out of sequence as compared to the other bands. Also the resolution of band 6 is lower.

This data is for the Landsat Thematic Mapper image of November 2, 1982.
