Abstract. The Southeast Asia region has a vast expanse with diverse tropical climates, making it a prominent centre of rice cultivation, contributing to about 20 % of the world’s rice production and contributes 29 % of global rice methane emissions. As a staple food for many countries, accurate and up-to-date information on the rice harvested area is crucial for addressing food security issues, predicting rice yield and methane emissions, and formulating effective government policies. This paper presents the first detailed study of rice cropping intensity and harvested areas throughout Southeast Asia. Current remote sensing products have not been able to produce up-to-date cropping intensity information due to the variability of local cultivation practices. To address this problem, we integrated Sentinel-1A and Sentinel-2A/B time series data from 2020 to 2021 and developed a local unsupervised classification with phenological labelling (LUCK-PALM) method. We implemented the system on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) cloud-based platform to produce geospatial products of rice cropping intensity and harvested area at a spatial resolution of 10 m called SEA-Rice-Ci10s. The results show that Southeast Asia's total rice growing area in 2020–2021 was 28.5 Mha, with 51 % single cropping, 47 % double cropping, and 2 % triple cropping. These were equivalent to 42.9 Mha of annual harvested area, consisting of Thailand (11.2 Mha), Indonesia (8.4 Mha), Myanmar (8.4 Mha), Vietnam (6.3 Mha), Cambodia (3.9 Mha), the Philippines (3.3 Mha), Laos (0.8 Mha), Malaysia (< 0.5 Mha), and Timor-Leste (0.01 Mha). We compared our rice maps to agricultural statistics data at the district and province levels and existing rice maps for some Southeast Asian countries. The results demonstrate that our map agreed well with countries’ statistics with a linear coefficient of determination (R2) from 0.85 to 0.97. Compared to existing products, our map can resolve small paddy fields of about 0.2 ha in the hilly areas. This information will be useful in addressing food security challenges and improving estimates of methane emissions from rice cultivation. The 10 m paddy rice cropping intensity map for Southeast Asia, SEA-Rice-Ci10, is available on the GEE App (https://rudiyanto.users.earthengine.app/view/seariceci2021), the Climate TRACE platform (https://climatetrace.org/) and the Zenodo repository (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10707621) (Frisa Irawan et al., 2024).

Short summary
This study is the first to map rice cropping intensity and the harvested area across Southeast Asia at a spatial resolution of 10 m (SEA-Rice-Ci10). We have developed a geospatial inventory of paddy rice parcels and rice cropping intensity by integrating Sentinel-1 and 2 time-series data in a framework called LUCK-PALM, based on local phenological expert interpretation. According to our best knowledge, it is the finest-resolution and most accurate database of paddy rice in Southeast Asia.
