Abstract:The spatial monitoring of crop water status is crucial for agricultural purposes. The aim of this study was to analyze the sensitivity and response times of land surface temperature (LST) and the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) to changes in soil moisture (VWC) in barley and wheat crops at plot scale in southeastern Argentine Pampas. VWC and LST were recorded daily by stations installed over the crops, and NDWI from Sentinel 2 (S2). Results showed instantaneous correlations between VWC and LST (r>-… Show more
