Abstract
A color composite image is used to identify Afghanistan citiies or towns where the lighting has dimmed during the first part of 2022 relative to a year ago. An analysis has been performed with the monthly radiances from 2021 and 2022 to identify locations in Afghanistan where electric power supplies are currently reduced as compared to conditions prior to the US withdrawal in August 2021.
