From: Allometric scaling, size distribution and pattern formation of natural cities
The comparison between the model results and empirical data with DNth=4 in 2009. (a) Satellite image of nighttime light clusters (or natural cities as defined above) in our ROI from CONUS. (b) The clusters (or natural cities) grown by the model. (c) The size distributions of natural cities for nighttime light image and model simulation. (d) The allometric scaling between total lightness and size of natural cities for nighttime light image and model simulation.
