NASA's Black Marble nighttime lights product suite
Remote Sensing of Environment, 2018 Abstract NASA's Black Marble nighttime lights product suite (VNP46) is available at 500 m resolution since January 2012 with data from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day/Night Band (DNB) onboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Platform (SNPP). The retrieval algorithm, developed and implemented for routine global processing at

Comparing DMSP/OLS Stable Nighttime Light With Radiance Calibrated Nighttime Light [PDF]
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2021 Two types of nighttime light products were derived from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program/Operational Linescan System (DMSP/OLS). One called stable nighttime light (NTL) is saturated in urban centers, and the other called radiance calibrated NTL (RCNTL) does not have saturation.
