Data continuity

Definition
Data continuity is

"the continued acquisition and availability of unenhanced data which are, from the point of view of the user &mdash;


 * (A) sufficiently consistent (in terms of acquisition geometry, coverage characteristics, and spectral characteristics) with previous Landsat data to allow comparisons for global and regional change detection and characterization; and
 * (B) compatible with such data and with methods used to receive and process such data."
