    Statement

  • Refer to Canada Centre for Remote Sensing for data accuracy. Data for the third dekad of June 2001 were missing and thus were filled by linear interpolation. A crop cover mask that delineated only those areas under cultivation in western Canada had been previously derived from Landsat TM images. A copy of the mask was obtained from the Statistics Canada Crop Condition Assessment Program and used to eliminate the influence of non-agricultural and non-annual crops on the NDVI signal. Consequently, all areas with non-agricultural land were masked out and NDVI values were extracted for only those areas having annual crops.
