Geospatial covariate data layers Covariates / Nighttime Lights 2015-2023 (flares/volcanoes filtered) / Timor-Leste 100m. Covariates

Nighttime Lights 2015-2023 (flares/volcanoes filtered), East Timor

The dataset is available to download in Geotiff format at a resolution of 3 arc seconds (approximately 100m at the equator). The projection is Geographic Coordinate System, WGS84 (EPSG:4326).
The value of each grid cell represents annual average radiance (in nW/cm2/sr), with Flares and Volcanoes filtered out.
