A Pixel-scale Corrected Nighttime Light Dataset (PCNL, 1992-2021) Combining DMSP-OLS and NPP-VIIRS

open access: yes, 2023
We proposed a set of DMSP-OLS and NPP-VIIRS inter-correction methods and produced a pixel-scale corrected nighttime light dataset (PCNL, 1992-2021). Two sets of reliable global nighttime light datasets were chosen as the basis.
