Summary L8 TIRS sharpening results (30m) show comparable spatial details to the results sharpened from L7 ETM+ Annual crop phenology were extracted using L5, L7 and MODIS. We will test L7 and L8 combination when L8 surface reflectances are available.
Fusion tools and products = understanding Evaporative Stress signal Negative ET anomalies: -phenological shift (i.e. planted to emerged) -variable acreage planted -soil moisture deficit -variable response reflective of vegetation type -water management Can only determine primary cause at field scale through Landsat Cause influences management action
Study Sites Time series (2000-2013) of Fusion data products (Daily ET at Landsat resolution) • Mead, Nebraska middle of cornbelt, auxiliary datasets for validation, hail damage 2004 • Ames, Iowa effects of phenology and unplanted acreage • North Dakota (Red River Valley) effects of changes in land management (tile drainage installation)
Consequences of Landsat coverage gap Landsat 9 2020 2030 Landsat 8 2013 Lost opportunities to determine stress causes 2012 severe drought year BUT little Landsat data Need to be proactive and plan for Landsat 9 now to eliminate gaps
