[Landsat-pds] Upcoming Landsat on AWS changes

[Flasher, Joe]

Hello all, we wanted to make you aware of some upcoming changes to the data structure based on USGS’ move to Collections (https://landsat.usgs.gov/april-3-2017-changes-landsat-pre-collection-processing).

We'll proceed with a new Collection 1 prefix: s3://landsat-pds/c1/L8/<path>/<row>/<product id> and a fresh scene list located at s3://landsat-pds/c1/L8/scene_list.gz. It has the same form as the previous scene list, with the addition of the product id.

Collection 1 data is being brought in as of now. Pre-collection will continue to flow until USGS stops updating the archive, which we believe will be at the end of this month per https://landsat.usgs.gov/april-3-2017-changes-landsat-pre-collection-processing. There is an example Collection 1 image at https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/landsat-pds/c1/L8/149/039/LC08_L1TP_149039_20170411_20170415_01_T1/index.html.

If there are any questions, please let me know.
