I am Preparing Composite Land Use and Land Cover maps for my study area, but LandSat 8 Images are complete covered by clouds.
If I try to remove those, I will lost the underneath data.
I am thinking to use Sentinel-2A data sets which are cloud free in that specific time period!
Is it possible to do so ?
Thank you
USGS
I think you should try another image product or choose another acquisition date. The statistical methods will give you a reconstructed "not real" image that can affect the accuracy of the results. Best regards
Hi,
If your area is covered with a relatively low amount of cloud cover, you could mask out the cloud forexample (F-mask) but if you have otherwise, please, consider using another date. LULC does not change over a short period of time. It will be safe to get another day which is free of cloud cover.
if resolution is no constraint and sentinel data suits your requirements and is cloud free, you can use it. Generally we avoid taking coarser resolution data if we have earlier data of high resolution but if we have used coarser resolution data earlier, we may use high resolution and resample the data to adjust pixel size.
