CGSTL, and Zhao, Q. (2025) CGSTL Nightlight Data. [Data Collection]
Collection description
Overview:
The high spatial resolution multi-spectral night-time light remote sensing imagery is collected by the Chinese commercial satellite - Jilin1-03 (JL1-3), which integrates the advantages of space-borne and air-borne night-time light sensors. JL1-3 enables to capture night-time light images in spatial resolution less than 1 m with three spectral bands including 430–512 nm (blue), 489–585 nm (green), and 580–720 nm (red) in 8-bit depth. JL1-3 data have been used in studies such as land use mapping, light source identification, socioeconomic activities, etc. UBDC obtained Nightlight data from Chang Guang Satellite Technology Co., Ltd (CGSTL).
CGSTL Nightlight data:
UBDC's night-time images of Glasgow were obtained in December 2021 and Edinburgh images were obtained in January 2022. Data can be used for various research topics such as the nighttime activities, urbanization, light pollution, etc.
Access and restrictions:
UBDC's licence agreement with CGSTL limits access to academics conducting non-commercial, academic research. To use the data, researchers need to apply to UBDC setting out a summary of the work they plan to undertake so that the usage can be assessed against these criteria. Please apply to UBDC. If the intended use falls within the terms of the licence, researchers will be asked to sign an End User Licence agreement. Datasets will be shared with eligible applicants on receipt of completed license agreements.
