Quantitative Analysis of Aerosol Influence on Suomi-NPP VIIRS Nighttime Light in China [PDF]

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2020
As a primary nighttime light (NTL) data source, the day/night band (DNB) sensor of the visible infrared imaging radiometer suite (VIIRS) is used in a wide range of studies. However, this signal is influenced by the atmosphere and may cause uncertainty while monitoring ground NTL.
