<p style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; font-size: 16px; color: #000000; text-align: left;">In this session, we will explore the advantages of having satellite data available over a long period of time. We can fill in missing or bad data from one day with data from another day. This creates a complete image known as a <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">composite</strong>. The most scientifically rigorous way of combining data is to use a <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">geomedian</strong>.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; font-size: 16px; color: #000000; text-align: left;">First, we will introduce composites and geomedians. Then, the exercise will walk through removing cloudy data points from our datasets, and show you how to produce cloud-free geomedian composite images.</p>
