In addition, they can be employed to obtain more coherence among remote sensing data from different sensors. The present work validates the use of PIA for the radiometric correction of pairs of images acquired almost simultaneously (Landsat-7 (ETM+) or Landsat-8 (OLI) and Sentinel-2A (MSI)). Four pairs of images from a region in SW Spain, corresponding to four different dates, together with field spectroradiometry measurements collected at the time of satellite overpass were used to evaluate a PIA-based radiometric correction. The results show a high coherence between sensors (r2 = 0.964) and excellent correlations to in-situ data for the MiraMon implementation (r2 &gt; 0.9). Other methodological alternatives, ATCOR3 (ETM+, OLI, MSI), SAC-QGIS (ETM+, OLI, MSI), 6S-LEDAPS (ETM+), 6S-LaSRC (OLI), and Sen2Cor-SNAP (MSI), were also evaluated. Almost all of them, except for SAC-QGIS, provided similar results to the proposed PIA-based approach. Moreover, as the PIA-based approach can be applied to almost any image (even to images lacking of extra atmospheric information), it can also be used to solve the robust integration of data from new platforms, such as Landsat-8 or Sentinel-2, to enrich global data acquired since 1972 in the Landsat program. It thus contributes to the program\u2019s continuity, a goal of great interest for the environmental, scientific, and technical community.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs9121319","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,15]],"date-time":"2017-12-15T12:23:56Z","timestamp":1513340636000},"page":"1319","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":55,"title":["Radiometric Correction of Simultaneously Acquired Landsat-7\/Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2A Imagery Using Pseudoinvariant Areas (PIA): Contributing to the Landsat Time Series Legacy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2034-7856","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joan-Cristian","family":"Padr\u00f3","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Grumets Research Group, Departament de Geografia, Edifici B, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, 08193 Bellaterra, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6924-1641","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xavier","family":"Pons","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grumets Research Group, Departament de Geografia, Edifici B, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, 08193 Bellaterra, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Aragon\u00e9s","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Remote Sensing and GIS Laboratory (LAST-EBD), Estaci\u00f3n Biol\u00f3gica de Do\u00f1ana (CSIC), C\/Am\u00e9rico Vespucio 26, Isla de la Cartuja, 41092 Sevilla, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0460-4616","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ricardo","family":"D\u00edaz-Delgado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Remote Sensing and GIS Laboratory (LAST-EBD), Estaci\u00f3n Biol\u00f3gica de Do\u00f1ana (CSIC), C\/Am\u00e9rico Vespucio 26, Isla de la Cartuja, 41092 Sevilla, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Diego","family":"Garc\u00eda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Remote Sensing and GIS Laboratory (LAST-EBD), Estaci\u00f3n Biol\u00f3gica de Do\u00f1ana (CSIC), C\/Am\u00e9rico Vespucio 26, Isla de la Cartuja, 41092 Sevilla, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7515-0677","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Javier","family":"Bustamante","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Remote Sensing and GIS Laboratory (LAST-EBD), Estaci\u00f3n Biol\u00f3gica de Do\u00f1ana (CSIC), C\/Am\u00e9rico Vespucio 26, Isla de la Cartuja, 41092 Sevilla, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7396-2468","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Llu\u00eds","family":"Pesquer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grumets Research Group, CREAF, Edifici C, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, 08193 Bellaterra, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6822-8704","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cristina","family":"Domingo-Marimon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grumets Research Group, CREAF, Edifici C, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, 08193 Bellaterra, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u00d2scar","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez-Guerrero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grumets Research Group, Departament de Geografia, Edifici B, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, 08193 Bellaterra, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6244-4289","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jordi","family":"Crist\u00f3bal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Asiaq-Greenland Survey, P.O.
