with less than 40 percent cloud cover are automatically processed. These, plus an additional 70,000
Landsat 7 ETM+ scenes, are available for immediate download. Images that are currently unavailable
can be processed at no charge upon request through WIST. Please Note: Landsat 5 TM and Landsat 7 ETM+
data may take 1 to 3 days for processing. Landsat 1-5 MSS, Landsat 4 TM and some Landsat 5 TM data may
take up to twelve weeks to process due to a high volume of requests or quality of the data.
Please contact LP DAAC User Services for more information about using WIST.
