Comparison between the Landsat 8 Barest Earth and the Landsat 30+ Year Barest Earth mosaic over the north-west of Australia. The second phase of our validation consisted of a continental-scale comparison between the two products that have different temporal ranges for the input data. We show both images in true colour (red 0.64–0.67 µm, green 0.53–0.59 µm, blue 0.45–0.51 µm in the red, green, blue image channels). a Landsat 8 Barest Earth product exhibiting the vegetation patterns in the landscape (dark and light) that correlate with fire scars of different ages and intensities. b Landsat 30+Year Barest Earth product showing the removal of the effect of fire scars.
