Description:
The cyclone model was created using the Tropical Cyclone Risk Model (TCRM - http://github.com/GeoscienceAustralia/tcrm), based on the best track of TC Ian (2014). The wind speed represents the maximum gust wind over the period of the cyclone.

Description:
High resolution (1 pixel represents 100m x 100m, contemporary data on human population distributions are a prerequisite for the accurate measurement of the impacts of population growth, for monitoring changes and for planning interventions. The AsiaPop project was initiated in July 2011 with the aim of producing detailed and freely-available population distribution maps for the whole of Asia. This project has expanded as the World Pop project to include other continents.
