Sensitivity studies of nighttime top-of-atmosphere radiances from artificial light sources using a 3-D radiative transfer model for nighttime aerosol retrievals [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2023 By accounting for surface-based light source emissions and top-of-atmosphere (TOA) downward lunar fluxes, we adapted the spherical harmonics discrete ordinate method (SHDOM) 3-dimensional (3-D) radiative transfer model (RTM) to simulate nighttime 3-D TOA

Shedding Light on the Shadow Economy: A Nighttime Light Approach
The Journal of Development Studies, 2016 AbstractMeasuring the shadow economy is inherently difficult, but critical for understanding economic development. Using census data on formal and informal sectors in Cambodia, we document that 96.6 per cent of non-farm establishments do not formally register with the government, and their sales accounted for 76.6 per cent of total sales in 2011 ...

Tracking Electrification in Vietnam Using Nighttime Lights [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2014 We report on a systematic ground-based validation of DMSP-OLS night lights imagery to detect rural electrification in Vietnam. Based on an original survey of village-level units in Vietnam, this study compares nighttime light output from the U.S. Air Force Defense Meteorological Satellite Program’s Operational Linescan System (DMSP-OLS) against ground ...

Global spatial patterns between nighttime light intensity and urban building morphology
International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2023 The comprehensive characterization of global urbanization requires consideration of both human activities and urban physical structures. Both human activities and urban physical structures exhibit regular self-similar patterns, yet the spatial patterns ...
