Fill Scene Selection (Landsat ETM+ SLC-off only)
When you select a Gap-filled product from the shopping basket dropdown, a search will be executed against the Landsat ETM+ SLC-on inventory for scenes that match the path and the row of your SLC-off primary scene. The results of this search can be used to select an SLC-on "fill scene" which will be used for processing your gap-filled product.

ETM+ SLC-off Gap-filled Products: Fill Scene Selection Page
The Fill Scene Selection page lists your Primary SLC-off scene followed by a list of results from the SLC-on (fill scene) search. The first record (item one) in the list is the scene that is closest to the anniversary date of your primary scene; this scene is automatically marked for selection. Fifteen records are displayed on one page. If the number of records exceeds fifteen, you can page through each record set using the Previous and Next links shown at the bottom of the list. You can also page through each record set by clicking on a page number (also shown at the bottom of the list), or by entering a page number and pressing the Go button

The first 3 columns of each set of records in the fill scene list are used to view a preview image, to show all the values included in the record (sometimes referred to as metadata), and to mark a record for fill scene selection. The remaining columns show information that is unique to each record (metadata).

Field columns and the order in which the records are sorted can be changed by clicking on the Change Columns and Sort Order of Results icon at the bottom of a record set.

A fill scene can be selected by clicking on the radio button next to any record and by clicking on the "Submit fill scene" icon.
