Global Population Distribution (1990),Terrestrial Area and Country Name Information on a One by One Degree Grid Cell Basis
- Environment Canada, Canadian Global Emissions Inventory Centre, Atmospheric Environment Service; OSTI
This data base contains gridded (one degree by one degree) information on the world-wide distribution of the population for 1990 and country-specific information on the percentage of the country's population present in each grid cell (Li, 1996a). Secondly, the data base contains the percentage of a country's total area in a grid cell and the country's percentage of the grid cell that is terrestrial (Li, 1996b). Li (1996b) also developed an indicator signifying how many countries are represented in a grid cell and if a grid cell is part of the sea; this indicator is only relevant for the land, countries, and sea-partitioning information of the grid cell. Thirdly, the data base includes the latitude and longitude coordinates of each grid cell; a grid code number, which is a translation of the latitude/longitude value and is used in the Global Emission Inventory Activity (GEIA) data bases; the country or region's name; and the United Nations three-digit country code that represents that name.For access to the data files, click this link to the CDIAC data transition website: http://cdiac.ess-dive.lbl.gov/ftp/db1016/
