It uses data from two satellite systems, DMSP-OLS and VIIRS DNB, with data processing by NOAA. New VIIRS layers are added automatically as soon as NOAA makes them available to public. The web application allows the user to examine changes in nighttime light emissions (nearly) worldwide, from 1992 up until last month. From 1992 to 2013, data comes from the Operational Linescan System of the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellites. From 2012 to the present, data comes from the Day/Night Band of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite instrument (VIIRS DNB). Due to significant differences in the instruments (as described by Miller et al., 2013), it is not possible to have a single record running from 1992 to today. A description of the VIIRS DNB night lights product used in this application was published by Elvidge et al. (2017), the data used in the app can be accessed from the NOAA Earth Observation Group (EOG) Website: https://ngdc.noaa.gov/eog/download.html Complete Kyba, Christopher GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, Potsdam, Germany kyba@gfz-potsdam.de pointOfContact light emissions light pollution artificial light at night web application Earth Observation Satellites > DMSP (Defense Meteorological Satellite Program) Earth Observation Satellites > Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) > SUOMI-NPP GCMD Platforms publication Earth Remote Sensing Instruments > Passive Remote Sensing > Spectrometers/Radiometers > Imaging Spectrometers/Radiometers > OLS Earth Remote Sensing Instruments > Passive Remote Sensing > Spectrometers/Radiometers > Imaging Spectrometers/Radiometers > VIIRS GCMD Instruments publication EARTH SCIENCE > SPECTRAL/ENGINEERING NASA/GCMD Earth Science Keywords publication monitoring > pollution monitoring GEMET - INSPIRE themes, version 1.0 publication European Union Public Licence (EUPL) v. 1.2 European Union Public Licence (EUPL) v. 1.2 10.3390/rs10121964 DOI References 10.1080/01431161.2017.1342050 DOI References 10.3390/rs70100001 DOI References 10.3390/rs5126717 DOI References https://ngdc.noaa.gov/eog/download.html URL References http://www.geoessential.eu/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/GEOEssential-D5.4-Final.pdf URL IsReferencedBy eng geoscientificInformation http://doi.org/10.5880/GFZ.1.4.2019.001 WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Data Access - DOI Data Access - DOI information
