Abstract:

The yearly nighttime-light dataset in Mongolia (1992-2018) was developed based on the fourth version DMSP/OLS from 1992 to 2013 and the monthly NPP/VIIRS nighttime light data from 2012 to 2018, integrated with a power function and a Gaussian low pass filter. The spatial resolution of this dataset is 1 km. The dataset is archived in .tif format, and consists of 54 data files with data size of 35.0 MB (Compressed into one file with 717 KB).
