The threat of climate change to non-dengue-endemic countries: increasing risk of dengue transmission potential using climate and non-climate datasets

Table 1 Data description

Type	Name	Resolution^a	Unit	Period	Sources
Climate raster	Temperature	0.5 by 0.5	Monthly	2005–2017	[17]
	Precipitation	1 by 1	Monthly	2005–2017	[18]
	Humidity	2.5 by 2.5	Monthly	2005–2017	[19]
Non-climate raster	Night lights (population density)	0.008 by 0.008	Yearly	2005 - 2013^b	[20]
Non-climate raster	Elevation	0.008 by 0.008	–	–	[21]
Dengue cases	Japan	By province	Weekly	2006–2016	[22]
Dengue cases	South Korea	By municipality	Monthly	2006–2017	[9]

^a All the climate raster files were resampled into 0.008 by 0.008 degree resolution by taking the nearest-neighbor assignments [2]
^b Due to data limitations, the night lights in 2013 was assumed to be consistent in 2014–2017, as the population density would not dramatically change during a short period of time [2]
