Description

The Consistent and Corrected Nighttime Lights (CCNL) dataset is a reprocessed version of the Defense Meteorological Program (DMSP) Operational Line-Scan System (OLS) Version 4. A series of methods was used to mitigate the impact of inter-annual inconsistency, saturation, and blooming effects and to improve data quality.

CCNL Version 1 spans the globe from 75N to 65S and has 1km pixel size.
