Daily night-time lights reveal prolonging global electric power system recovery times following tropical cyclone damage by Yu Mo, Fred Thomas, Jianan Rui, Jim W Hall

“…We also found that blackout durations have significantly ( P < 0.05) increased over the study period across all levels of urbanization, at a similar rate of 0.9 ± 0.1 d per decade. The temporal variations (i.e. annual means) of blackout duration of high and low density urban clusters negatively correlated with storm travel speed, while those of low density urban clusters and rural areas positively correlated with pre-storm NTL ( P ⩽ 0.05 in all cases). …”
