However, at present, the related research in China is extremely rare. In view of this, in this paper, the DMSP- OLS Nighttime Lights (DMSP/OLS NTL) data of China between 1992 and 2012 were implemented to reveal the correlation information between NTL and socio-economic data from multiple pers- pectives (including space and time). Moreover, a systematic correction methods was developed to improve DMSP/OLS NTL data, which can remove the influence of water and gas flare, diminish blooming phenomenon, and make DMSP-OLS NTL data without onboard calibration become more continuous and comparable. The experiment in this paper revealed that the strong correlation between the socio-economic data (including GDP and population) and NTL. Furthermore, the de- tailed correlation and linear model was presented, whi
