To Order NLDC Data

The NLDC data are provided in the same format in which they were acquired from the data provider at the time of the initial data purchase by the NASA investigators, or in the case of HTFP "tic products," in band sequential format with an ASCII format data descriptor record (Refer to the Data Set Guide information).

To search the geographic coverage and order the NLDC data, use the EOS Data Gateway via the World Wide Web:

http://eos.nasa.gov/imswelcome

When the EOS Data Gateway "Search Screen" is accessed, simply specify the following search parameters:

Data Center= LP (Land Processes Data Center)
Dataset = NASA Landsat Data Collection, North American Landscape Characterization, or Global Land Cover Test Sites

The search can be constrained by specifying additional geographic and temporal parameters. There is additional information available for specific scenes (granules) when you display the "Granule Attributes" using the EOS Data Gateway.

the "Granule Attributes" are described in the EOS Data Gateway Guide for the NLDC.

NOTE: The NLDC data are provided in a "user beware" context which implies that the USGS Customer Services do not have ready access to documentation describing data formats for data acquired from International Ground Stations
