By: LP DAAC

The LP DAAC is pleased to announce the availability of the Observational Products for End-Users from Remote Sensing Analysis (OPERA) Land Surface Disturbance Annual from Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 (HLS) Version 1 data product. This product summarizes vegetation and generic disturbances collected from the Operational Land Imager (OLI) aboard the Landsat 8 and Landsat 9 satellites and the Multi-Spectral Instrument (MSI) aboard the Sentinel-2A/B satellites for the OPERA Disturbance Alert data product. The DIST-ANN product tracks changes at the annual scale, aggregating changes identified in the DIST-ALERT product. Only confirmed disturbances from the associated year are reported together with the date of initial disturbance. Data is distributed at 30 meter (m) spatial resolution.

Interested OPERA data users and members of the broader science and applications community are encouraged to check out OPERA’s Stakeholder Engagement Program (SEP) where they can learn more about OPERA data and provide feedback.
