Abstract
This imagery is 15m, six-band multispectral, cloud-minimised mosaics of Landsat 8 satellite scenes over mainland New Zealand made from scenes captured late-2015/early-2016.
Purpose
This imagery is used by the Land Use Carbon Analysis System (LUCAS) at the New Zealand Ministry for the Environment to map and quantify changes in New Zealand land use. This information is used to calculate greenhouse gas emissions and removals for the Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) sector toward meeting our international reporting obligations under the Kyoto Protocol and United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
Credit
U.S. Geological Survey (capture, orthorectification)
Component ortho-rectified Landsat 8 scenes in UTM projection were sourced from the U.S Geological Survey. Bands: 1 (Blue), 2 (Green), 3 (Red), 4 (NIR), 5 & 6 (SWIR) Note: All bands pan-sharpened to 15m from nominal 30m. Pan-sharpening, conversion to NZGD2000 New Zealand Transverse Mercator projection, atmospheric correction, BRDF correction, cloud-clearing, date-prioritising and cloud-minimised mosaicking completed by Landcare Research NZ.
