New preprint by @salvabara asks whether it's possible to reconcile observations of the rate of increasing #LightPollution from #GlobeAtNight and #VIIRS_DNB: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2409.13111
Conclusion: it's *possible* that they are in agreement, but it requires assuming that there is a lot of increase in glare affecting the GaN observers.
Salva, I didn't quite understand whether you model a shift in which more of the light is emitted horizontally, not causing glare, but just brightening the sky?
