Abstract:<p>Recent advances in gridded crop modeling and satellite observations help to improve the monitoring of crop growth and water requirements. In this contribution, we use AquaCrop v7 within the NASA Land Information System (i) to produce spatially distributed estimates of soil moisture, biomass and backscatter, and their uncertainty, and (ii) to assimilate backscatter observations from the Sentinel-1 satellite mission to improve soil moisture and biomass via state updating, at 1 km resolution over… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
