Landsat 8 OLI and Sentinel-2 MSI data are combined in many applications but few studies haves focused on either urban change or consistency between these two data in time series. To evaluate the varying correlation between the two sensors in a time series, the correlation coefficient (R) and root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) of seven band pairs and three indices (NDVI, NDBI, and MNDWI) were calculated in this study and the results of the built-up area identified by IBI derived from the above three indices were compared. It was found that the correlation between the two sensors (R &gt; 0.8534, p &lt; 0.0001) was good in most bands but not as good for indices (in half of the results, R &lt; 0.9). Meanwhile, the correlation of the two sensors of both bands and indices fluctuated between seasons and the comparative results of built-up area identification between the two data are relative to this variation. Therefore, when the OLI and MSI data are used in future collaboration applications, the data and threshold selection should consider the consistency and the fluctuation between the two data, especially in both time series studies and urban detection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs11242957","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,10]],"date-time":"2019-12-10T10:52:41Z","timestamp":1575975161000},"page":"2957","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Preliminary Evaluation of the Consistency of Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2 Time Series Products in An Urban Area\u2014An Example in Beijing, China"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9173-1156","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhen","family":"Nie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Remote Sensing Science, College of Global Change and Earth System Science, Beijing Normal University, Beijing 100875, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karen Kie Yan","family":"Chan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ministry of Education Key Laboratory for Earth System Modelling, Center for Earth System Science, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bing","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ministry of Education Key Laboratory for Earth System Modelling, Center for Earth System Science, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China"},{"name":"Joint Center for Global Change Studies, Beijing 100875, China"},{"name":"Center for Healthy Cities, Institute for China Sustainable Urbanization, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100085, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"481","article-title":"The State of the World Population 2007: Unleashing the potential of urban growth","volume":"45","author":"Lahariya","year":"2008","journal-title":"Indian Pediatr."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4269","DOI":"10.1080\/01431160802039957","article-title":"A new index for delineating built-up land features in satellite imagery","volume":"29","author":"Xu","year":"2008","journal-title":"Int.
