Dataset

VIIRS Plus DMSP Change in Lights (VIIRS+DMSP dLIGHT), v1 (1992, 2002, 2013)

ElectricityGlobalColumbia University

Dataset Objective

To visualize changes in brightness and extent of global night time lights networks over two decades with improved radiometric accuracy and finer spatial resolution.

Context

To achieve greater spatial resolution and radiometric accuracy, the DMSP-OLS composites are co-registered and fused with the 2015 VIIRS annual composite from NGDC.

What is included

This dataset entail: extent of nighttime lights change ( red band, green band, blue band)

Collection Methods

Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) and lights imagery from the U.S. Air Force Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP)
