Traditional optical remote sensing data have been widely used for snow cover detection and monitoring. However, they are limited to daytime often suffer from large gaps due frequent cloud obscuration. This is in particular a serious challenge high-latitude polar regions where long nights prevail during the winter. Nighttime light sensors strong capability of low-level reflected moonlight. They potentially provide new way detect cover. In this study, we quantitatively analyzed moonlight...
Nighttime light (NTL) data have been commonly used as a proxy for characterizing socioeconomic activities. Vegetation coverage has found to be closely and inversely correlated with NTL intensity (NTLI). Although the combination of NTLI vegetation indices studied in various applications, complex relationship between is not yet clear. By analyzing NDVI mainland China from 2013 2021, we that scatterplot exhibits triangular shape physical meaning, which called NTLI-NDVI feature space. Using...
The new visible infrared imaging radiometer suite (VIIRS) onboard the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-20 satellite (NOAA-20) is capable of Earth during both daytime nighttime. NOAA-20 VIIRS' day/night band (DNB) enables a generation nighttime applications. However, few studies investigated ability DNB light data in modeling socioeconomic indicators [such as gross domestic product (GDP) electric power consumption (EPC)] extracting urban areas. In this article, we first used...
Night-Time light (NTL) data have been widely used for monitoring the dynamics of human activities and socioeconomics. As a new-generation satellite acquiring NTL data, National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration-20 (NOAA-20) was successfully launched in November 2017. To support broad-scale environmental applications, it is necessary to generate monthly composites NOAA-20. Taking China as study area, we produced NOAA-20 from April 2019 December 2019. First, performed series de-noising steps...
