Any idea why temporal coverage is so spotty? According to http://landsat.usgs.gov/landsat8.php http://landsat.usgs.gov/landsat8.php Landsat 8 repeats every 16 days, but for many of the spots there are only images that are several months old.
- drewbo19 12y agoSome areas appear spotty because the default filter is set to exclude anything above 20% cloud cover. You can use the filters at the top to broaden the range: http://cl.ly/image/3U3H120u2H0f/libra-filter-ex.gif http://cl.ly/image/3U3H120u2H0f/libra-filter-ex.gif

- geotyler 12y agoIt could be that Libra throws out images with cloud cover percentages that are too high. For some areas with frequent cloud cover, that might mean that there are only a handful of useable Landsat images each year.
- Sprint 12y agoOh how I am not a fan of the "non-descript icon only" trend... I had no idea there was a filter. Thank you!
- ianschuler 12y agoTry changing the cloud cover filter to see more scenes. By default it is only showing scenes that are relatively free of clouds.
- Sprint 12y agoThat was it, thanks! I had no idea there was any kind filter active.
