| Abstract | This paper reports on research to adapt the 2nd Generation Prairie Agrometeorological Model for wheat developed by Raddatz [1] at Environment Canada to use both in situ data from a distributed
network of meteorological stations (original mode) and NOAA AVHRR information output from the GeoComp-N processor at the Manitoba Remote Sensing Centre. Two parameters previously approximated by the model have been substituted with AVHRR derived
information: fractional leaf area (f LA), and skin temperature. These parameters are critical for obtaining accurate outputs. Model outputs were ingested into a GIS to generate maps of crop growth stage expressed as biometeorological time (BMT),
actual evapotranspiration or crop water-use (ET), and top zone (TpZ) and root zone (RtZ) soil moisture for a test area in southern Manitoba for the year 2000 growing season. |
