Description
The Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 (HLS) project provides consistent surface reflectance (SR) and top of atmosphere (TOA) brightness data from a virtual constellation of satellite sensors. The Operational Land Imager (OLI) is housed aboard the joint NASA/USGS Landsat 8 and Landsat 9 satellites, while the Multi-Spectral Instrument (MSI) is mounted aboard Europe's Copernicus Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B satellites. The combined measurement enables global observations of the land every 2 to 3 days at 30m spatial resolution. The HLS project uses a set of algorithms to obtain seamless products from OLI and MSI that include atmospheric correction, cloud and cloud-shadow masking, spatial co-registration and common gridding, illumination and view angle normalization, and spectral bandpass adjustment.
The HLS project distributes data as two separate products: HLSL30 (Landsat 8/9) and HLSS30 (Sentinel-2 A/B). They both provide 30m Nadir Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF), Adjusted Reflectance (NBAR). This is only the HLSL30 product (the Landsat component). Earth Engine does not currently offer the HLSS30 product (the Sentinel-2 component). Therefore, observation frequency of the HLS products offered by Earth Engine is determined solely by the Landsat 8 and 9 acquisition plan.
