GEOGLAM contribution using Japanese earth observation satellites data in Asia
Abstract
The Asia-RiCE initiative (http://www.asia-rice.org) has been organized to enhance rice production estimates through the use of Earth observation satellites data, and seeks to ensure that Asian rice crops are appropriately represented within GEO Global Agriculture Monitoring (GEO-GLAM) to support FAO Agriculture Market Information System (FAO-AMIS). Asia-RiCE is composed of national teams that are actively contributing to the Crop Monitor for AMIS and developing technical demonstrations of rice crop monitoring activities using both Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data (Radarsat-2 from 2013; Sentinel-1 and ALOS-2 from 2015 and extend such activity from a province estimation to national estimation. And also, using GCOM-W, GPM, MODIS, Himawari and other satellites, JAXA provides agro-met information to Asia to support monthly rice crop outlook in cooperation with ASEAN food security information project (AFSIS).
