My study area is quite small (10 x 4 km). I would like to get all cloud free (say < 10% cloud cover) landsat images over that area, for a given time period (say, over 10 years). I cannot use the 10% cloud cover cutoff in EarthExplorer because it is for the whole scene. That is, I might miss a lot of images where it was mostly cloudy over the scene but was cloud free over my study area. So is there a good way to search for and download all suitable landsat images? I have my study area demarcated as a shapefile.

What area are you looking at ? Because it depends on the area where there is a cloud free or not... It is hard to find one that is cloud free...– PROBERTCommented Apr 11, 2017 at 14:51

You could potentially use Google Earth Engine and sort the least cloudy image of the series of images over your region and download that one?– Vijay RameshCommented Apr 11, 2017 at 18:34

My area is in Finland, where it is quite cloudy. But I see "gaps" in many scenes, hence the question. And thanks Vijay for the suggestion of Google Earth Engine. I have not tried it out yet, but will give a detailed look.– user7831861Commented Apr 12, 2017 at 8:57

You could try if you get stuck with the Google Earth Engine...
Here are the potential Landsat for download free...
https://libra.developmentseed.org/
https://landsatlook.usgs.gov/viewer.html

Finish National Satellite Centre :
Looks like doesn't have Landsat but has Sentinel there..
