Landsat and MODIS data for the Lower Gwydir Catchment study site

The Lower Gwydir Catchment study site is located in northern NSW (149.2815E, 29.0855S), where 14 cloud–free Landsat-MODIS pairs were available from April 2004 to April 2005. Gwydir is 80 km N–S and 68 km E–W covering 5,440 km2 (3200 columns by 2720 lines at 25 m resolution). All Landsat imagery are TM acquired by Landsat-5. A separate folder contains a binary image for masking inundated areas used for evaluation of accuracy of blending algorithms in land cover specific areas as described in the following citation: Emelyanova IV, McVicar TR, Van Niel TG, Li LT, van Dijk AIJM (2012) On blending Landsat-MODIS surface reflectances in two landscapes with contrasting spectral, spatial and temporal dynamics.
