Comparing DMSP/OLS Stable Nighttime Light With Radiance Calibrated Nighttime Light

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...

description Two types of nighttime light products were derived from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program&#x002F;Operational Linescan System (DMSP&#x002F;OLS). One called stable nighttime light (NTL) is saturated in urban centers, and the other called radiance calibrated NTL (RCNTL) does not have saturation. This study compared these two types of images from three perspectives. For the radiometric attributes, these two types of images were fitted well by both the power function and the logarithmic function in the whole of China with the lowest <italic>R</italic><sup>2</sup> value of 0.867 and the highest of 0.937, and the power function fitting performed better.
