  • Context-dependent changes in maritime traffic activity during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessAlexandra Loveridge, Christopher D Elvidge et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2023

    Rapid implementation of human mobility restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic dramatically reduced maritime activity in early 2020. But where and when activity rebounded, or remained low, during the full extent of 2020 restrictions remains unclear. Using global high-resolution datasets, we reveal a surprising degree of complexity in maritime activity patterns during 2020, yielding a more nuanced picture of how restrictions affected activity. O…

  • Annual Time Series of Global Viirs Nighttime Lights Derived from Monthly Averages

    Open AccessChristopher D Elvidge, Mikhail Zhizhin et al.ARTICLERemote Sensing2021

    A consistently processed annual global nighttime lights time series (2012–2019) was produced using monthly cloud-free radiance averages made from low light imaging day/night band (DNB) data collected by the NASA/NOAA Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS). The processing steps are modified from the original methods developed to produce annual nighttime lights products from nightly data. Only two years of VIIRS nighttime lights (VNL) we…

  • Viirs night-time lights

    Open AccessChristopher D Elvidge, Kimberly Baugh et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Remote…2017

    The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day/Night Band (DNB) collects global low-light imaging data that have significant improvements over comparable data collected for 40 years by the DMSP Operational Linescan System. One of the prominent features of DNB data is the detection of electric lighting present on the Earth’s surface. Most of these lights are from human settlements. VIIRS collects source data that could be used to genera…

  • The new world atlas of artificial night sky brightness

    Open AccessFabio Falchi, Pierantonio Cinzano et al.ARTICLEScience Advances2016

    The world atlas of zenith artificial night sky brightness is modelled with VIIRS DNB data and calibrated with more than 35,000 observations.

  • A global map of urban extent from nightlights

    Open AccessYuyu Zhou, Steven J Smith et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2015

    Urbanization, a major driver of global change, profoundly impacts our physical and social world, for example, altering not just water and carbon cycling, biodiversity, and climate, but also demography, public health, and economy. Understanding these consequences for better scientific insights and effective decision-making unarguably requires accurate information on urban extent and its spatial distributions. We developed a method to map the urban…

  • Long-wave infrared identification of smoldering peat fires in Indonesia with nighttime Landsat data

    Open AccessChristopher D Elvidge, Mikhail Zhizhin et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2015

    Smoldering peat fires in Indonesia are responsible for large quantities of trace gas and particulate emissions. However, to date no satellite remote sensing technique has been demonstrated for the identification of smoldering peat fires. Fires have two distinct combustion phases: a high temperature flaming and low temperature smoldering phases. The flaming phase temperature is approximately twice that of the smoldering phase. This temperature dif…

  • Why Viirs data are superior to DMSP for mapping nighttime lights

    Christopher D Elvidge, Kimberly Baugh et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Asia-Pacific…2013

    For more than forty years the U.S. Air Force Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Operational Linescan System (OLS) has been the only satellite system collecting global low-light imaging data. A series of twenty-four DMSP satellites have collected low-light imaging data. The design of the OLS has not changed significantly since satellite F-4 flew in the late 1970’s and OLS data have relatively coarse spatial resolution, limited dynamic…

  • A Fifteen Year Record of Global Natural Gas Flaring Derived from Satellite Data

    Open AccessChristopher D Elvidge, Daniel Ziskin et al.ARTICLEEnergies2009

    We have produced annual estimates of national and global gas flaring and gas flaring efficiency from 1994 through 2008 using low light imaging data acquired by the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP). Gas flaring is a widely used practice for the disposal of associated gas in oil production and processing facilities where there is insufficient infrastructure for utilization of the gas (primarily methane). Improved utilization of the g…

  • Night-time Imagery as a Tool for Global Mapping of Socioeconomic Parameters and Greenhouse Gas Emissions

    ChristopherN H Doll, Jan-Peter Muller et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2000Citada por: 8

    Night-time satellite imagery acquired between October 1994 and March 1995 is here exploited to derive economic and energy-related global maps. By considering the lit area of a city, and combining this with ancillary statistical information, an analysis was performed designed to investigate the potential of night-time imagery for quantitative estimation of global socioeconomic parameters. An attempt to estimate global urban population using correl…

  • Relation between satellite observed visible-near infrared emissions, population, economic activity and electric power consumption

    Christopher D Elvidge, K E Baugh et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Remote…1997

    The area lit by anthropogenic visible-near infrared emissions (i.e., lights) has been estimated for 21 countries using night-time data from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Operational Linescan System (OLS). The area lit is highly correlated to gross domestic product and electric power consumption. Significant outliers exist in the relation between area lit and population. The results indicate that the local level of economic d…
