Abstract
Frequent multispectral observations of sufficient spatial detail from well-calibrated spaceborne sensors are needed for large-scale terrestrial monitoring. To meet this demand, the NASA Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 (HLS) project was initiated in early 2010s to produce comparable 30-m surface reflectance from the US Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) and the European Copernicus Sentinel-2A MultiSpectral Instrument (MSI), and currently from two OLI and two MSI sensors, by applying atmospheric correction to top-of-atmosphere (TOA) reflectance, masking out clouds and cloud shadows, normalizing bi-directional reflectance view angle effects, adjusting for sensor bandpass differences with the OLI as the…
