Accessing free Landsat data via the Internet: Africa's challenge
February 23, 2010

This letter reports the size and proportion of the US Landsat archive that is over Africa by each Landsat sensor, discusses the implications of missing data and highlights the current bandwidth constraints on users accessing free Landsat data over the Internet from Africa.
