Orthorectified, pan-sharpened ETM+7/4/2 individual scenes are available fromtwo sources: the NASA ‘ZULU’ site at http://zulu.ssc.nasa.gov/mrsid/ and alsothe USGS Global Visualization Viewer (GLOVIS) at http://glovis.usgs.gov/. TheZULU tiles are edge matched and would be ideal for creating natural colormosaics. Unfortunately, when inflated each tile is in excess of 4GB in size,exceeding the limits of the GeoTiff and even JPEG formats. The GLOVIS sitearchives tiles that are a more manageable size, but they are not edge matched.However, this data can be downloaded directly in GeoTiff format. In order to doso, select 'Collection | Landsat Legacy Collections | ETM+ Pan Mosaics". Inorder to do so, select ‘Collection | Landsat Legacy Collections | ETM+ PanMosaics”. Select the scene of interest (the north shore of Long Island, NY in theexample above. Add it to the list for downloading and then download it to yourcomputer.Note that GEOCOVER images are considerably larger than pan sharpenedLandsat ETM+ scenes. Typical image sizes are around 21,500 by 19,600 pixelsequal to around 1.2GB, making processing of these files using the Windowsoperating system a bit of a challenge.
