# This is a shell function to quickly grab the data for a given Landsat 8 tile ID from Google's servers
# For example:
# l8get LC81690352014169LGN00

# The echo at the end is to remind myself of the syntax for extracting bands 8, 4, 3, and 2. (Pansharp, Red, Green, Blue)

# On OSX this would go into your ~/.bash_profile file.
# Requires gsutil from https://developers.google.com/storage/docs/gsutil_install
# Most useful in conjunction with USGS' Earth Explorer: http://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/
