USGS EROS Archive - Landsat - Atmospheric Auxiliary Data – GEOS-5 IT C2 Active
Data from Goddard Earth Observing V5 (GEOS-5 IT) are used in the Landsat 8 and Landsat 9 surface temperature algorithm.
These data are available for users wanting to generate custom Level-2 products using the Collection 2 surface reflectance and surface temperature algorithms. It is not necessary for users to download the atmospheric auxiliary data for use with Collection 2 Level-2 products.
The GEOS IT replaces the GEOS FP-IT with enhancements to the model and assimilation system which enables more realistic representations of moisture, temperature, and land surface.
Refer to GEOS Systems and GEOS Weather Analysis and Prediction for information about the GEOS-IT project. The content and format are described in the File Specification document. (October 2015).
