CONTINUAL CROP DEVELOPMENT PROFILING USING DYNAMICAL EXTENDED RANGE WEATHER FORECASTING WITH ROUTINE REMOTELY-SENSED VALIDATION IMAGERY

摘要

A modeling framework for estimating crop growth and development over the course of an entire growing season generates a continuing profile of crop development from any point prior to and during a growing season until a crop maturity date is reached. The modeling framework applies extended range weather forecasts and remotely-sensed imagery to improve crop growth and development estimation, validation and projection. Output from the profile of crop development profile generates a combination of data for use in auxiliary farm management applications.
