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.

Indian economy and Nighttime Lights [PDF]
2021 International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Knowledge Economy (ICCIKE), 2021 Forecasting economic growth of India has been traditionally an uncertain exercise. The indicators and factors affecting economic structures and the variables required to model that captures the situation correctly is point of concern. Although the forecast should be specific to the country we are looking at however countries do have interlinkages among
