HLS Sentinel-2 Multi-spectral Instrument Surface Reflectance Daily Global 30m v1.5

Metadata Updated: September 19, 2025

The HLSS30 V1.5 data product was decommissioned on January 4, 2022. Users are encouraged to use the improved HLSS30 V2 data product.The Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 (HLS) project provides consistent surface reflectance data from the Operational Land Imager (OLI) aboard the joint NASA/USGS Landsat 8 satellite and the Multi-Spectral Instrument (MSI) aboard the European Union’s Copernicus Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B satellites. The combined measurement enables global observations of the land every 2-3 days at 30 meter (m) spatial resolution. The HLS project uses a set of algorithms to obtain seamless products from OLI and MSI that include atmospheric correction, cloud and cloud-shadow masking, spatial co-registration and common gridding, illumination and view angle normalization, and spectral bandpass adjustment. The HLSS30 product provides 30 m Nadir Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF)-Adjusted Reflectance (NBAR) and is derived from Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B MSI data products. The HLSS30 and HLSL30 products are gridded to the same resolution and Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) tiling system and thus are “stackable” for time series analysis.The HLSS30 product is provided in Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) format, and each band is distributed as a separate COG. There are 13 bands included in the HLSS30 product along with four angle bands and a quality assessment (QA) band. For a more detailed description of the individual bands provided in the HLSS30 product, please see the User Guide.Provisional HLS V1.5 data have not been validated for their science quality and should not be used in science research or applications.Known Issues* Interruptions in data service occurred during a restaging of backlogged data between June 1 and June 15, 2021 for both HLSS30 and HLSL30 version 1.5 data products. During this time period increased errors in the processing workflow resulted in a significant number of data ingestion failures and thus, significant gaps in data availability. Given the pending release of the version 2.0, science quality HLS products, these missing data will not be filled for version 1.5. Users of the provisional version 1.5 products should be aware of the significant data gap in this two week window. The version 2.0 products will incorporate these data back into the archive. If you have any feedback or questions on the data please contact Customer Services or join our HLS conversion on the Earthdata Forum.
