Spectral Band Comparison Tool

Our Spectral Band Comparison Tool empowers users to quickly and effectively analyze spectral bands from multiple Earth-observing satellites. Designed for both analysis and presentation creation, this tool offers customizable visualizations to create accurate graphics.

This tool expands upon the successful Landsat Spectral Bands graphic with atmospheric transmission data. Given the challenges of creating this graphic using traditional methods, we developed this tool to generate scientifically accurate diagrams.

Compare Instruments

 This tool accurately compares spectral bands across various Earth-observing satellites, down to the wavelength. It currently supports the following instruments: DESIS, ECOSTRESS, EMIT, EO1 (ALI), Landsat 1-5 (MSS), Landsat 4-5 (TM), Landsat 7 (ETM+), Landsat 8-9 (OLI & TIRS), Landsat Next, PACE (OCI), Sentinel-2, Sentinel-3, and Terra/Aqua (MODIS).
 

Custom styling

Enhance your graphic’s visual appeal by tailoring the appearance of each instrument. You can customize labels, adjust box and text sizes, and modify band colors to create a unique and informative visualization.

Export graphics

Once you’ve perfected your graphic, you can export and download it as a high-quality PNG file. Use it in your presentations or talks, or as a starting point for other designs.
