The files for this data set are available as global rasters in both GeoTIFF and ASCII format at the native 30 arc-second resolution and four lower resolutions: 2.5 arc-minute, 15 arc-minute, 30 arc-minute, and 1 degree. The data are stored in WGS84, geographic coordinate system (latitude/longitude).

Each downloadable is a compressed zip file containing the GeoTIFF (.tif) or ASCII file (.asc) and the polygon shapefile (.shp) at the desired resolution. The zip files for ASCII format also include a lookup table (.txt) that explains the meanings of the data values for country-level information. A separate documentation zip file contains PDF documentation, an Excel file (.xlsx) with country-level information and sources, and a text file (.txt) with a log of changes to the data set by version.
