Thematic Mapper band 2

This image is the second channel of the Thematic Mapper scanner mounted on the Landsat 4 and 5 satellite. Its spectral range corresponds approximately to what humans view as green. Its specific range on the electromagnetic spectrum is 0.52µ to 0.60µ and is useful for assessing the health of vegetation. This image has been contrast enhanced using a gaussian stretch with a sigma value of 2.5 and a light high pass filter applied to bring out detail. The raw un-enhanced version of this file is available.
