Summary
Global spatial distribution and density of constructed impervious surface areas (ISA) in 2000-2001. The density of ISA for each grid cell is shown as a percentage of the total area. Examples of ISA include roads, parking lots, building, driveways, sidewalks and other manmade surfaces. The data was regridded and vectorized from the original raster version, which is available at: http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/dmsp/download_global_isa.html.
