Level-2 Scene-based Science Products
Landsat Collection 2 Level-2 Science Products are time-series observational data of sufficient length, consistency, and continuity to record effects of climate change, and serve as input into Landsat Level-3 Science Products. Landsat Collection 2 Level-1 data are used in the processing of Level-2 science products.
The timeframe for creating Level-2 products varies by satellite. The Landsat Collection 2 Product Generation Timeline displays the time it takes to generate Level-2 products for each sensor.
