Landsat Missions
As of May 2007, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) began generating new Landsat 5 (L5) Thematic Mapper (TM) Calibration Parameter Files (CPFs) that may be used for radiometric and geometric processing of L5 TM imagery. The new TM CPF files are structurally very similar to those that are currently generated for Landsat 7 (L7) Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+).
The new TM CPF files contain the same information and values that were previously contained in the L5 TM Lookup Table (LUT), as well as information from the previous bumper mode calibration files. However, the new TM CPF file contains much more detailed (daily) trended values for the bumper mode parameters, and also includes many additional groups and coefficients that may be useful for processing of TM imagery.
A complete set of the new L5 TM CPFs is now available for the full L5 TM archive, including historically acquired imagery.
For a full description of the contents and format of the TM CPF file, see the CPF Definition Document - .pdf (369 KB).
