I am trying to find suspended particulate matter using landsat 8 image. However upon finding the SPM concentration I also need to know at what time of the day the image was captured.
You will get from the image file name only. Try to follow the nomenclature rules of the image file of Landsat-8.
Somnath Paramanik sir, thank you for answering, however, I am trying to find the time of satellite passing over my region when the data was obtained.
Hey there! when you download the imagery there is always a notepad file in it containing all the info about the imagery. Look into that file! hope it will help.
Hello Diksha Karapurkar ,
The zip file of L8 data shipped with meta data files. You can use *MTL.txt (Example: LC08_L1TP_147047_20181110_20181127_01_T1_MTL) to find the time stamps.
The line number 24 and 25 in that file are may be what you are looking for:
DATE_ACQUIRED = 2018-11-10
SCENE_CENTER_TIME = "05:27:45.2159489Z"
This time is in GMT, so you need to add +5.5 to convert to IST.
A example MTL file of L8 pertain to Pune is added for reference (Courtesy of the U.S. Geological Survey).
Hope this help you.
Regards
