Welcome to Flint!

Flint is an earth night light dataset developed by Chen Fu team of China Remote Sensing Satellite Ground Station, Chinese Academy of Science.

It is further processed on the basis of the monthly products of the NPP satellite VIIRS sensor released by Colorado School of Mines. Compared with the original products, flint provides higher accuracy, stability and ease of use. It can be used to continuously track human activities on the earth's surface.
