Any idea why temporal coverage is so spotty? According to http://landsat.usgs.gov/landsat8.php Landsat 8 repeats every 16 days, but for many of the spots there are only images that are several months old.

It could be that Libra throws out images with cloud cover percentages that are too high. For some areas with frequent cloud cover, that might mean that there are only a handful of useable Landsat images each year.

Oh how I am not a fan of the "non-descript icon only" trend... I had no idea there was a filter. Thank you!

Try changing the cloud cover filter to see more scenes. By default it is only showing scenes that are relatively free of clouds.

That was it, thanks! I had no idea there was any kind filter active.
