Monitoring nighttime light (NTL) change enables us to quantitatively analyze the patterns of human footprint and socioeconomic features. NASA’s Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day/Night Band (DNB) atmospheric and Lunar-BRDF-corrected Black Marble product provides 15-arc-second daily global nighttime radiances with high temporal consistency. However, timely and continuous monitoring of NTL changes based on the dense DNB time series is still lacking. In this study, we proposed a Viewing Zenith Angle (VZA) stratified COntinuous monitoring of Land Disturbance (COLD) algorithm (VZA-COLD) to detect NTL change at 15-arc-second resolution. Specifically, we divided the clear observations into four VZA intervals (0-20°, 20°-40°, 40°-60°, 0-60°) to mitigate the temporal variation of the NTL data caused by the combined angular effect of viewing geometry and the various kinds of surface conditions. Single term harmonic models were continuously estimated for new observations from each VZA interval, and by comparing the model predictions with the actual DNB observations, a unified set of NTL changes can be captured continuously among the different VZA intervals. The final NTL change maps were generated after excluding the consistent dark pixels. Results show that the algorithms reduced the DNB data temporal variations caused by disparities among different viewing angles and surface conditions, and successfully detected NTL changes for six globally distributed test sites with an overall accuracy of 99.78% and a user’s accuracy of 68.25%, a producer’s accuracy of 66.89% for the NTL change category.
