OSINT At Home #27 – How to Track Wars, Disasters & Ships at Night

Acabo de actualizar mi dataset sobre contaminación lumínica nocturna global generado con mi herramienta radiance-geojson (https://codeberg.org/imigueldiaz/radiance-geojson). Contiene archivos JSON (.json.gz) y un dump completo en PostGIS (restaurada ocupa 27GB, con casi 140 millones de puntos georreferenciados), con datos de radiancia, brillo del cielo y clasificación Bortle para 173 países a 0.5 km de resolución. Basado en imágenes VIIRS de Earth Observation Group, Colorado School of Mines.

Ideal para análisis geoespaciales, ambientales y astronómicos, en mi caso lo usaré para astrofotografía si me da la vida. Licencia CC BY 4.0.

In order to fully understand how #LightPollution affects our world, we need to know how much of it is in which places. Divergent results from different measurement methods present some tension, but recent research suggests a way forward.

Public service announcement:
Data from #VIIRS DNB since the summer is affected by an instrumental effect, which makes the data from the last few months darker than they should be (see e.g. this graph for Manhattan). The #NASA #BlackMarble team is working to fix it.
ht to Damien Guiraudie who wrote to me to ask what was going on, and also to Zhuosen Wang from @NASA who quickly responded to my question.
