This map depicts model estimates of annual average direct normal irradiance (DNI) at 10 km resolution based on hourly estimates of radiation over 10 years (2002-2011). The inputs are visible imagery from geostationary satellites, aerosol optical depth, water vapor, and ozone. Units: kWh/m sq. per day, Source: NREL

Pakistan Power Plants Layer Source: digitized from Power and Gas Grid Map of South Asia (2006) Description: Power plants. Spatial Resolution: Not stated.

Philippines Drought Cnt Layer Source: UNEP Global Risk Data Platform (composite source data 1980-2001) Description: This dataset includes an estimate of number of drought eventsbetween 1980-2001. It is based on two sources: 1) a global monthly gridded precipitation dataset obtained from the Climatic Research Unit (University of East Anglia); and 2) a GIS modeling of global Standardized Precipitation Index based on Brad Lyon's (IRI, Columbia University) methodology. It was modeled using global data. Spatial Resolution: 0.5 arc-minutes
