“…The other parameters were obtained by a celestial coordinate transformation. The sun-moon distance and moon-spacecraft distance were calculated based on the J2000 coordinates of the sun, the moon, and the sensor, and then, the distance correction factors could be obtained based on Equation 10, and the lunar irradiance at the standard distance could be determined based on Equation (11). The relevant parameters of the lunar observation geometry and process variables are listed in Table 3.…”

“…NTL remote sensing data captured by NTL remote sensing satellites provide a great opportunity to monitor light pollution in ecosystems [1], and these data have been widely used to study human activities to substantially improve our understanding of the magnitude of humanity's presence [2]. These data are useful for modeling human impact on the environment and have been used for evaluating the regional economy, monitoring urbanization dynamics [3][4][5], perceiving power distribution and consumption in regional development [6][7][8], assessing population and population density change [9,10], estimating cargo handling capacity [11], estimating CO 2 emissions [12,13], extracting land available for urban construction [14], and evaluating the evolution of the pattern of spatial expansion of urban land [15,16].…”

The high-resolution nighttime light (NTL) data of the LuoJia1-01 NTL remote sensing satellite has enriched the available data of NTL remote sensing applications. The radiance calibration used as a reference to convert the digital number (DN) recorded by the nighttime sensor into the radiance of the corresponding ground object is the basic premise to the effective application of the NTL data. Owing to the lack of on-board calibration equipment and the absence of an absolute radiometric calibration light source at night, it is difficult for LuoJia1-01 to carry out on-orbit radiance calibration. The moon, as an exoatmospheric stable radiation source, is widely used for the radiometric calibration of remote sensing satellite sensors and to monitor the stability of the visible and near-infrared sensors. This study, based on lunar observation of the LuoJia1-01 NTL sensor, focused on on-orbit radiometric calibration and included monitoring changes in the nighttime sensor radiometric response for nearly a year by using the Robotic Lunar Observatory (ROLO) lunar irradiance model (Version 311 g). The results showed that: (1) the consistency of the radiometric calibration results based on the ROLO model and the laboratory calibration results of LuoJia1-01 exceeded 90%; (2) the nighttime sensor of LuoJia1-01 radiometric response underwent approximately 6% degradation during the observation period of nearly one year (353 days).

“…NTL has been widely used in the study of human activities, which can reflect the detailed changes of human activities in geographic space, and has been proved to be correlated with regional GDP (Bickenbach et al,2016;Xiao et al, 2021;Gibson and Boe-Gibson, 2021). A paper has studied the throughput development of coastal ports in China by using the intensity of neighboring NTL (Liu et al, 2019). This paper will analyze the hinterland of the European continent.…”

Over 80% of global trade by volume and more than 70% of its value are carried by the seaborne worldwide. As the critical hub between sea and land, ports handle a huge amount of cargo. In the past, hinterland could be split by the distance of port-hinterland. With the development of containerization and multi-model transport, the reduction in transport rates makes the distance between port and hinterland not as important as before. Therefore, we want to know if the competitiveness of every port is not in causality with distance. Nighttime light (NTL) is applied to observe the hinterlands of the European continent. Container throughput (TP) and Liner shipping connectivity (LSC) are selected as characteristics reflecting port competitiveness. The result of the Ganger causality test means that there is no causality between NTL and TP or LSC for most ports. For the contribution, NTL is tried to discover the port-hinterland relationships in space, and the whole European continent is used to test the causality between NTL and TP or LSC. Because parts of the ports are still causality, the results of this paper will help establish the recognition of port supply and demand based on port-hinterland relationships.

“…Comparisons of annual composites across time are also problematic due to signal decay and satellite changes [23]. While saturation and signal decay are no longer issues with the release of monthly images from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) satellite [24], DMSP-OLS data remain of interest to researchers using historical data (e.g., [25,26]). As such, it is important to correct issues that may bias inferences for practitioners still using DMSP-OLS data.…”

Defense Meteorological Satellite Program Operational Linescan System (DMSP-OLS) nighttime light data has become a key tool of the environmental and social scientific fields, but suffers from several validity problems. We highlight one such problem—shifts in the digital number position in DMSP-OLS composites in the same satellite. We present techniques for identifying the problem, using moving window raster correlation and visual inspection, and for solving the problem, by assigning control points and manually shifting raster positions. To illustrate the importance of accounting for signal shift, we re-examine a recent analysis of the relationship between public goods provision and patterns of violence in the 2011 Syrian uprising and ensuing civil war. We find the statistical results change considerably when correcting for signal shift. We attribute this change to the systematic undercounting of light intensity in heavily populated areas. We close by identifying the types of research that would most benefit from our correction and suggest future refinements to our technique through automation.
