Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager

Landsat 8 collects images using the Operational Land Imager (OLI) and Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) with 9 spectral bands at 30m resolution and 2 additional thermal bands at 100m resolution. The new ultra-blue band is useful for coastal and aerosol studies while the cirrus band aids in cloud detection. Scenes cover an area of around 170km by 183km.

Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) and Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) images consist of

nine spectral bands with a spatial resolution of 30 meters for Bands 1 to 7 and 9. New band 1 (ultra-blue)
is useful for coastal and aerosol studies. New band 9 is useful for cirrus cloud detection. The resolution for
Band 8 (panchromatic) is 15 meters. Thermal bands 10 and 11 are useful in providing more accurate
surface temperatures and are collected at 100 meters. Approximate scene size is 170 km north-south by
183 km east-west (106 mi by 114 mi).
