[GRASS-user] access to multispectral landsat data for the UK

[Daniel Victoria]

Hi Colin,

I don't know where you are looking for these landsat images but they are
free of cost for everyone. Take a look at the Earth Explorer[1] site from
USGS. Even Landsat 8 data is available. I just cheched and found about 60
Landsat8 images over UK and Ireland with less then 30% cloud cover.

Cheers
Daniel
