DATASET: Alpha version 2010, 2015 and 2010 estimates of numbers of people per pixel ('ppp') and people per hectare ('pph'), with national totals adjusted to match UN population division estimates (http://esa.un.org/wpp/) and an additional version remaining unadjusted (modelled solely on census and covariate data). REGION: Asia SPATIAL RESOLUTION: 0.000833333 decimal degrees (approx 100m at the equator) PROJECTION: Geographic, WGS84 UNITS: Estimated persons per grid square MAPPING APPROACH: Random Forest FORMAT: Geotiff (zipped using 7-zip (open access tool): www.7-zip.org) FILENAMES: Example - LKA_ppp_v2b_2010_UNadj.tif = Sri Lanka (LKA) population per pixel (ppp), mapped using WorldPOP modelling version 2b (v2b) for 2010 (2010) adjusted to match UN national estimates (UNadj).
