Coastal development, Driver of Environmental Change: eDrivers Project for the St.Lawrence System

View this record at source repository
Description:
Terrestrial stable lights at night mostly represent light from human settlements and industrial sites with electricity. We thus used lights at night as a proxy of coastal infrastructure development. The data come from the Nighttime Lights Time Series. Nighttime light products are compiled by the Earth Observation Group at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). They use globally available nighttime data obtained from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day/Night Band (DNB) of the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) to characterize global average radiance composite images at a 15 arc-second (~200 m) resolution. We used the annual Version 1 Nighttime VIIRS DNB composites between 2015 and 2016 to characterize coastal development in coastal areas of the St. Lawrence.

Nous avons donc utilisé les lumières nocturnes comme indicateur du développement des infrastructures côtières. Les données proviennent de la série chronologique *Nighttime Lights*. Les produits d'éclairage nocturne sont compilés par le groupe d'observation de la Terre des centres nationaux d'information environnementale (NCEI) de la *National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration* (NOAA). Ils utilisent les données nocturnes disponibles dans le monde entier obtenues à partir de la bande jour/nuit (DNB) de la suite de radiomètres imageurs infrarouges visibles (VIIRS) du *Defense Meteorological Satellite Program* (DMSP) pour caractériser des images composites de radiance moyenne mondiale à une résolution de 15 secondes d'arc (~200 m). Nous avons utilisé les composites *Nighttime* VIIRS DNB de la version 1 annuelle, entre 2015 et 2016, pour caractériser le développement côtier dans les zones côtières du Saint-Laurent.
