A high-spatial-resolution dataset aggregating cloud-free Landsat 8 and Landsat 9 Land Surface Temperature (LST) data across five consecutive summers (2021–2025). This dataset provides a temporal aggregate of the Landsat Level 2 Collection 2 product provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), indicating surface thermal patterns across Germany. The dataset includes a supplementary observation count raster, where each pixel value indicates the total number of individual, valid, cloud-free observations contributing to the final aggregated data product.
