U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey Global Cropland Extent Version 1.0 (GCE V1.0) Goal
U.S. Geological Survey U.S. Department of Interior Global Cropland Extent Version 1.0 (GCE V1.0) Overarching Goal The Ultimate Goal of this sub-project is to produce an accurate global cropland extent (GCE) map at nominal 30 m resolution Note: Global cropland extent is one of the 5 products we will produce in the GFSAD30 NASA MEaSUREs Project.
U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey Global Cropland Extent Version 1.0 (GCE V1.0) Approach
U.S. Geological Survey U.S. Department of Interior Global Cropland Extent Version 1.0 (GCE V1.0) Approach: three stages to reach the goal We will achieve global cropland 30 m in 3 distinct stages 1. GCE 1.0 (1 km) A global cropland extent 1 km will be produced based on the synthesis of best available existing global extent maps. This will be released at nominal 1 km resolution as version 1.0 product. 2. GCE 2.0 (250 m) MODIS 250 m resolution monthly maximum value composite (MVC) NDVI time-series data will be used to refine the version 1.0 product to produce a more refined nominal 250m resolution as version 2.0 product. 3. GCE 3.0 (30 m) Landsat 30m resolution NDVI data will be used to refine the version 2.0 product to produce further refined accurate nominal 30 m resolution as version 3.0 product.
