Satellite Data and Modeling for Continental Crop Growth Estimation KU Leuven
The estimation of crop growth at large scales remains a challenge, mainly due to the large variation of crops in time and space. In this research, AquaCrop will be run for continental Europe and for the whole globe with spatial satellite-based crop information as input for the first time. Next, coarse-scale satellite observations will be assimilated within AquaCrop to further improve the temporal dynamics of biomass. Finally, higher ...
