The USDA, ARS, Arid-Land Agricultural Research Center requires image processing, as follows: Provide image processing of 3 Landsat scenes, 2 scenes per year, for the available record (1984-2014) of Landsat 5, 7, and 8. Provide images for NDVI and total cover (green and senescent vegetation) for the time periods with the minimum and maximum total cover each year (before and after the summer growing season). The processed imagery, in GeoTIFF format.
The 3 Landsat scenes to be processed are:
Path 32 Row 34 (Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site, CO)
Path 33 Row 33 (Fort Carson, CO)
Path 36 Row 38 (Tucson, AZ)
The calculation of the SATVI index and total cover from SATVI for Landsat and MODIS is described in:

In order that the product be in the same format as existing Government imagery, the following directions:
1. Select the average dates of minimum and maximum total cover using MODIS 8 day time series 2000-2013 for each Landsat image
2. Select the best available Landsat image from Landsat 5, 7, or 8.
3. Verify geometric rectification
4. Convert digital numbers (DN) to radiance
5. Convert radiance to surface reflectance using 6S
6. Assess clouds using automated cloud-cover assessment (ACCA), select another image within 6 weeks of date for gap-filling of pixels determined to be clouds
7. Assess shadows for gap-filling of pixels determined to be shadows of clouds found in step 6
8. Calculate NDVI, SATVI, and Total Cover % for all available images and provide on disk or hard drive.
