Chart comparing top of atmosphere reflectance for Landsat 8 OLI and Sentinel-2A MSI satellite sensors

Detailed Description

This plot in the Land Processes Characterization System tool represents Top of Atmosphere (TOA) reflectance mean from one of the desert calibration sites named Libya 4 for both Landsat 8 OLI and Sentinel-2A MSI satellite sensors. The acquisitions have been considered from launch to the current date for both sensors. This plot shows only coastal-aerosol band TOA reflectance mean from both sensors for the chosen Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES) Region of Interest (ROI). It reveals that Landsat and Sentinel-2A are showing consistent results over time.
