West Africa Coastal Vulnerability Mapping: Subset of DMSP-OLS Nighttime Lights for Economic Activity, 2010

The West Africa Coastal Vulnerability Mapping: Subset of DMSP-OLS Nighttime Lights for Economic Activity, 2010 data set is based on Version 4 of the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program Operational Linescan System (DMSP-OLS) Nighttime Lights Time Series, 2010 annual global composite of radiance lights inter-calibrated to the digital number (DN) values of gain 55 for satellite F16 (2006). These data are commonly used for identifying human settlements and economic activity. The DNs are on a Unitless scale ranging from 0 (no light) to 4,000 (greatest light intensity). This data set is a proxy for economic activity within 200 kilometers of the coast of West Africa. The resolution of the grid is 30 arc-second, or approximately 1 km at the equator. The data were provided courtesy of Christopher Elvidge and Kimberly Baugh of the Earth Observation Group, NOAA National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), where image and data processing were performed.

VIIRS/NPP Lunar BRDF-Adjusted Nighttime Lights Monthly L3 Global 15 arc-second Linear Lat Lon Grid

VIIRS/NPP Gap-Filled Lunar BRDF-Adjusted Nighttime Lights Monthly L3 Global 500m Linear Lat Lon Grid, with short-name VNP46A3, is the third nighttime lights (NTL) product in the Black Marble suite, which provides monthly composites generated from daily atmospherically- and lunar-BRDF-corrected NTL radiance to remove the influence of extraneous artifacts and biases. The VNP46A3 product contains 28 layers. They provide information on the NTL composite, the number of observations, quality, and standard deviation for multi-view zenith angle categories (near-nadir, off-nadir, and all angles), their snow-covered and snow-free statuses besides land-water mask, latitude and longitude coordinate information. They also include detailed information and description of the quality flags. This description pertains to the SNPP VIIRS Monthly Lunar BRDF-adjusted NTL collection, whose record starts from January 1st 2012.

VIIRS/NPP Gap-Filled Lunar BRDF-Adjusted Nighttime Lights Daily L3 Global 500m Linear Lat Lon Grid

The SNPP VIIRS Gap-Filled Lunar BRDF-Adjusted Nighttime Lights Daily L3 Global 500m Linear Lat Lon Grid product, short-name VNP46A2 is a daily moonlight- and atmosphere-corrected Nighttime Lights (NTL) product. This product is available at 15 arc-second resolution and contains seven Science Data Sets (SDS) that include DNB BRDF-Corrected NTL, Gap-Filled DNB BRDF-Corrected NTL, DNB Lunar Irradiance, Latest High-Quality Retrieval, Mandatory Quality Flag, Cloud Mask Quality Flag, and Snow Flag. The VNP46A2 product files are provided in standard Hierarchical Data Format–Earth Observing System (HDF-EOS5) format.The current v2.0 collection contains several changes and differences relative to the previous v1.0 collection. These include radiance data format change from unsigned integer to floating-point, from exclusively for land surfaces coverage to both land and water surfaces, updated Mandatory_Quality_Flag layer, and others. Consult the v2.0-specific Black Marble User Guide for additional details at:https://landweb.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/data/userguide/BlackMarbleUserGuide_Collection2.0_20241203.pdf
