AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
This page provides access to multiple NOAA VIIRS nighttime light datasets, including daily, monthly, and annual composites.
-
The datasets utilize the Day/Night Band (DNB) sensor for capturing low-light visible and near-infrared emissions.
-
Annual composites (V2.1 and V2.2) offer global nighttime lights data with cloud-free average radiance from 2013 to 2022.
-
Monthly composites (V1) are available with and without stray light correction, offering average radiance but with potential data gaps due to compositing limitations.
-
These datasets are valuable for studying Earth systems, light pollution, and human activities at night.

VIIRS Nighttime Day/Night Annual Band Composites V2.1
Annual global VIIRS nighttime lights dataset is a time series produced from monthly cloud-free average radiance grids spanning 2013 to 2021. Data for 2022 are available in the NOAA/VIIRS/DNB/ANNUAL_V22 dataset. An initial filtering step removed sunlit, moonlit and cloudy pixels, leading to rough composites that … annual dnb eog lights nighttime noaa -
VIIRS Nighttime Day/Night Annual Band Composites V2.2
Annual global VIIRS nighttime lights dataset is a time series produced from monthly cloud-free average radiance grids for 2022. Data for earlier years are available in the NOAA/VIIRS/DNB/ANNUAL_V21 dataset. An initial filtering step removed sunlit, moonlit and cloudy pixels, leading to rough composites that contains … annual dnb eog lights nighttime noaa -
VIIRS Nighttime Day/Night Band Composites Version 1
Monthly average radiance composite images using nighttime data from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day/Night Band (DNB). As these data are composited monthly, there are many areas of the globe where it is impossible to get good quality data coverage for that month. … dnb eog lights monthly nighttime noaa -
VIIRS Stray Light Corrected Nighttime Day/Night Band Composites Version 1
Monthly average radiance composite images using nighttime data from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day/Night Band (DNB). As these data are composited monthly, there are many areas of the globe where it is impossible to get good quality data coverage for that month. … dnb eog lights monthly nighttime noaa -
VNP46A1: VIIRS Daily Gridded Day Night Band 500m Linear Lat Lon Grid Night
The Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (SNPP) Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) supports a Day-Night Band (DNB) sensor that provides global daily measurements of nocturnal visible and near-infrared (NIR) light that are suitable for Earth system science and applications. The VIIRS DNB's ultra-sensitivity in lowlight … daily dnb nasa noaa population viirs
