January 16, 2014 - New Ground Control Points for Select Landsat 8 Scenes

By Landsat Missions

New Ground Control Points (GCPs) will become available for three WRS-2 path/rows and GCPs contained within large water bodies will be removed on February 3, 2014 to coincide with the Landsat 8 archive reprocessing.

As a consequence of the improved GCPs, scenes once created as a systematic Level-1GT (L1GT) product may now process to a precision Level-1T (L1T) product.

More details can be found in the January 16, 2014 Calibration Notice.
