Global data are separated into 4 parts and available to download from this website in ESRI Shapefile format (see figure, zones boundaries, shapefile):

• Eur Zone, 104 Mb
• Noa Zone, 110 Mb
• Soa Zone, 90 Mb
• Sas Zone, 115 Mb

Data in SQL format ready for uploading into PostGIS/PostgreSQL

• Eur Zone, 130 Mb

Data is converted using the following routine :

for f in *shp
do  
  #remove extension and substitute "-" for "_"
  name=$(basename $f .shp| tr "-" "_")
  #convert file $f from shp to sql commands
  shp2pgsql -d -I -s 4326 $f $name > ./sql/$name".sql"
done
