AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
This collection provides access to multiple versions of nighttime lights datasets, including DMSP-OLS and VIIRS.
-
DMSP-OLS datasets offer global nighttime lights data, with versions focusing on radiance-calibrated imagery, time series analysis, and a consistent, corrected dataset (CCNL).
-
VIIRS datasets provide annual and monthly composites of nighttime lights, with options for stray light correction and varying versions (V2.1, V2.2).
-
These datasets allow for the analysis of nighttime light emissions, enabling studies on urbanization, economic activity, and environmental changes.
-
Data from both DMSP-OLS and VIIRS are available for different time periods, allowing for temporal analysis and change detection.

CCNL: Consistent and Corrected Nighttime Light Dataset from DMSP-OLS (1992-2013) v1
The Consistent and Corrected Nighttime Lights (CCNL) dataset is a reprocessed version of the Defense Meteorological Program (DMSP) Operational Line-Scan System (OLS) Version 4. A series of methods was used to mitigate the impact of inter-annual inconsistency, saturation, and blooming effects and to improve data … dmsp eog imagery lights nighttime ols -
DMSP OLS: Global Radiance-Calibrated Nighttime Lights Version 4, Defense Meteorological Program Operational Linescan System
The Defense Meteorological Program (DMSP) Operational Line-Scan System (OLS) has a unique capability to detect visible and near-infrared (VNIR) emission sources at night. This collection contains global nighttime lights images with no sensor saturation. The sensor is typically operated at a high-gain setting to enable … dmsp eog imagery lights nighttime ols -
DMSP OLS: Nighttime Lights Time Series Version 4, Defense Meteorological Program Operational Linescan System
The Defense Meteorological Program (DMSP) Operational Line-Scan System (OLS) has a unique capability to detect visible and near-infrared (VNIR) emission sources at night. Version 4 of the DMSP-OLS Nighttime Lights Time Series consists of cloud-free composites made using all the available archived DMSP-OLS smooth resolution … dmsp eog imagery lights nighttime ols -
VIIRS Nighttime Day/Night Annual Band Composites V2.1
Annual global VIIRS nighttime lights dataset is a time series produced from monthly cloud-free average radiance grids spanning 2013 to 2021. Data for 2022 are available in the NOAA/VIIRS/DNB/ANNUAL_V22 dataset. An initial filtering step removed sunlit, moonlit and cloudy pixels, leading to rough composites that … annual dnb eog lights nighttime noaa -
VIIRS Nighttime Day/Night Annual Band Composites V2.2
Annual global VIIRS nighttime lights dataset is a time series produced from monthly cloud-free average radiance grids for 2022. Data for earlier years are available in the NOAA/VIIRS/DNB/ANNUAL_V21 dataset. An initial filtering step removed sunlit, moonlit and cloudy pixels, leading to rough composites that contains … annual dnb eog lights nighttime noaa -
VIIRS Nighttime Day/Night Band Composites Version 1
Monthly average radiance composite images using nighttime data from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day/Night Band (DNB). As these data are composited monthly, there are many areas of the globe where it is impossible to get good quality data coverage for that month. … dnb eog lights monthly nighttime noaa -
VIIRS Stray Light Corrected Nighttime Day/Night Band Composites Version 1
Monthly average radiance composite images using nighttime data from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day/Night Band (DNB). As these data are composited monthly, there are many areas of the globe where it is impossible to get good quality data coverage for that month. … dnb eog lights monthly nighttime noaa
