Data sets

Gebesee Database for the enhancement of crop monitoring applications: evolution of plant physiology, soil moisture, surface reflectance and atmospheric conditions on the agricultural Gebesee test site (central Germany) in 2013 and 2014 S. C. Truckenbrodt and J. Baade https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.874251

Short summary

A comprehensive ground reference database for the set-up and validation of models for the satellite-aided retrieval of crop characteristics is presented. Data on the evolution of biophysical and biochemical plant parameters were collected for seven crop types on the Gebesee test site (central Germany) in 2013 and 2014. Field work was carried out on a weekly basis and close to satellite acquisitions. The data reflects spatial heterogeneity and interannual phenological variability.
