Data format

File format

For now, we will assume tabular data and use csv format.

Yield data

Please prepare or provide the yield data in the following format:

crop_name: e.g. winter wheat, grain maize, rice

country_code: 2 letter code of the country (check here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2)

adm_id: Identifier for administrative unit. This identifier needs to be unique and could include country code and a way to extract identifier for larger administrative units (e.g. state or province).

season_name: local name of the season (if available).

planting_year: in YYYY format (if available)

planting_date: in YYYY-MM-DD format (if available). NOTE: If no exact date is available, we can specify if planting/harvest usually starts at the beginning, middle or end of a month, e.g. "2022-05-01", "2022-05-15" or "2022-05-31".

harvest_year: in YYYY format

harvest_date: in YYYY-MM-DD format (if available). NOTE: If no exact date is available, we can specify if planting/harvest usually starts at the beginning, middle or end of a month, e.g. "2022-05-01", "2022-05-15" or "2022-05-31".

yield: crop yield in mt/ha

production: crop production in mt (if available)

planted_area: planted area in ha (if available)

harvest_area: harvested area in ha (if available)

Notes

Please provide the planting_year, planting_date and harvest_date in case this information is provided as part of the yield data set. If this information is not available, we will use a crop calendar to get this information.

This format was proposed by Rahel, Weston, Donghoon and Dilli. Please get in touch with us (laudien@pik-potsdam.de) in case you have questions or other suggestions.

Predictor time series

These will be prepared separately for different crops. Appropriate crop masks will be applied during preparation.

crop_name: e.g. winter wheat, grain maize, rice.

adm_id: Identifier for administrative unit. This identifier needs to be unique and could include country code and a way to extract identifier for larger administrative units (e.g. state or province).

date: (daily for all except for FPAR, which is dekadal, i.e. every ~10 days, and NDVI, which is roughly every week).

One or more predictor variables

Static data (e.g. soil)

crop_name: e.g. winter wheat, grain maize, rice

adm_id: Identifier for administrative unit. This identifier needs to be unique and could include country code and a way to extract identifier for larger administrative units (e.g. state or province).

One or more soil properties

Crop calendar

crop_name: e.g. winter wheat, grain maize, rice.

adm_id: Identifier for administrative unit. This identifier needs to be unique and could include country code and a way to extract identifier for larger administrative units (e.g. state or province).

planting_doy: Day of the year for start of season (SOS) or planting.

maturity_doy: Day of the year for end of season (EOS) or harvest or maturity.

NOTE: For crops with seasons crossing calendar year boundaries, planting_doy may be larger than maturity_doy.
