Example, Protocol applied at Xinavane irrigation scheme
Case: crop = sugarcane, country = Mozambique, project = Xinavane
WaPOR and local data of Table 6 are used to implement the protocol. The Level 2 data used in this study include actual evapotranspiration and interception and net primary production at a decadal timescale and annual land cover classification. In addition, decadal precipitation at 5 km resolution, decadal reference evapotranspiration at 25 km resolution. The precipitation and reference evapotranspiration datasets were downscaled to 100 m resolution.
The Level 2 data source of the WaPOR data is not consistent throughout the 10 years. Before 2014, the data is derived from the MODIS satellite (250 m resolution), which is resampled to 100 m. In 2014, PROBA-V came into orbit, which provides the WaPOR L2 data for the period after 2014. The analyses in this report show a clear break 2009-2013 and 2014 onwards in the data (e.g., the noise in the biomass-transpiration and biomasses relationship are much even with patch of scatter pixels, such as high biomass at zero transpiration which cannot be explained agronomical).
