# 2025-12-03 NSW1: Transect NSW Site 1, Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2B dual overpass
2+
3+
This is a report of the field data collected on 3 December 2025 at the location of Transect NSW Site 1
4+
to validate the satellite data of the Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2B dual overpass.
5+
The full collection of data is contained in the [National Spectral Database](https://www.ga.gov.au/scientific-topics/dea/dea-data-and-products/national-spectral-database).
6+
Satellite data can be found on [DEA maps](https://maps.dea.ga.gov.au/#share=s-i2o7JwB5gvXOQefhMmTLJaA14b0).

## Results
31+
32+
The surface reflectance statistics collected on this day are grouped into bands.
33+
This allows the data to be used to validate Geoscience Australia's other datasets that use the same standardised bands.
