How are Landsat images organized?

Landsat images are organized according to the Worldwide Reference System. There is a Landsat scene that covers every given location on Earth’s landmasses between ~82° N and S. Landsat scenes cover a region of approximately 182 km x 185 km (113 x 115 miles). Each Landsat scene is identified by a Path and Row number.
