DESCRIPTION:	Luminosity Rating Mean - 2014 (0-100)
NOTE:	The imagery DNB data was filtered to exclude data impacted by stray light, lightning, lunar illumination, and cloud-cover. Cloud-cover is determined using the VIIRS Cloud Mask product (VCM). In addition, data near the edges of the swath are not included in the composites (aggregation zones 29-32). This data is then averaged to give the Average Radiance Values. The DNB imagery has an original spatial resolution of 750 meters.

Analyzing night-time lights data is best done in larger geographic units. Analyzing at the township level would give a more valuable and arguably accurate result than at the village tract level
