Abstract :
This paper described a method for producing of the precise global DMSP/OLS nighttime mosaic data using plural OLS scenes in short duration in 1997 and its integration with NOAA/AVHRR data. The analysis results of integrated data in 1997 and the latter half of the 1980´s clearly showed the spreading of light distribution pattern in several big cities, and changes in the geographical distribution of the lights from forest fire and field fire.
