When reprocessing time series of data from different satellite sensors to produce a consistent time series, there are two options: 1) applying the most advanced algorithms to the older, lower quality data or 2) degrading the most recent, higher quality data to match the standards of the old data set. For example, most recent data have generally been degraded spatially to simulate the broader point spread function of older sensors and therefore improve the consistency of the time series [6]. VII. LAND-COVER CHANGE APPLICATIONS Much of the science related to land-cover change has been previously driven by data availability. With the increasing number of sensors, sci-ence is now driving the need for improved data sets. The increasing availability of consistent, high-frequency data sets and a better under-standing of the relationship between the physical measurements and biophysical processes as well as the relationship between sensors ar
