Black marble takes flight simulations dawn dusk and night aviation to levels of realism never before realized this product includes volumetric night lighting that looks real.
Black marble night lighting.
The nasa black marble algorithm produces cloud free imagery that have been corrected for atmospheric terrain lunar brdf thermal and straylight effects.
Combine that with real world road data and you have a product that s destined to become a best seller.
A highly configurable and the most advanced night lighting system created to date providing global and native worldwide road network coverage to all major simulation platforms.
The corrected nighttime radiances resulting in a superior retrieval of nighttime lights at short time scales and a reduction in background noise enable quantitative analyses of daily seasonal and annual variations.
Nasa has released new high definition satellite images of earth s night lights for the first time since 2012.
