The best-available-pixel (BAP) tool you have been waiting for! Implemented on #GoogleEarthEngine (#GEE). #Landsat

In #GEEBAP can tune composite parameters, create a #timeseries, set area of interest, AND download surface reflectance outcomes!

Spatial resolution of source imagery has an impact on detail of mapped features. Big pixels are known to lead to an overestimation in #wildfire burned area estimates.
