Description:
Distribution of population throughout the globe, by 0.5 degree grid cells. "Hot Spots" of very high populations can be readily seen in and around big cities and metropolitan areas. Global total population fields were constructed using country-level demographic statistics from the World Resources Institute Earth Trends database. Total population dataset was developed by spatially distributing country level urban and rural population data among DMSP-OLS nighttime stable lights imagery (Elvidge 1997a) and ESRI digital chart of the World populated places points (ESRI 1993).
