Abstract：

The lower reaches of the Tarim River lie between the Taklamakan Desert and Kuruktag Desert. Satellite observations with high spatial resolution and a long temporal span are important for studying ecological and environmental changes in this region. Combining Landsat surface reflectance data at 30 m covering 2000-2020 with Sentinel-2 observations covering 2015-2020, we developed a six-band Landsat multispectral super-resolution reconstruction workflow based on an enhanced super-resolution generative adversarial network (ESRGAN). The workflow takes six bands as inputs: red, green, blue, near-infrared (NIR), shortwave infrared 1 (SWIR1) and shortwave infrared 2 (SWIR2). A generator comprising 16 residual-in-residual dense blocks (RRDBs) performs threefold spatial up sampling to produce the surface reflectance dataset for the lower reaches of the Tarim River. The dataset includes six-band surface reflectance imagery with a 10 m pixel size for five key years: 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2020. The data are stored as UInt16 with LZW compression, and use a scale factor of 0.0001. Evaluation of the 2020 validation scene showed that ESRGAN outperformed the bicubic interpolation baseline in mean PSNR, global PSNR, mean SSIM and SAM. The reconstructed imagery showed good agreement with Sentinel-2 L2A reference data aligned to a common 10 m grid. The dataset is archived in GeoTIFF (.tif) files, and consists of 5 data files with data size of 17.2 GB.
