Alternative plant and harvest calendars #1

From Nadya.... I wanted to ask you a question about cropping dates - Since Michael George is interested in modeling the full water year, the remote sensing groups were talking about including planting and harvesting dates with the analysis. We wanted to be able to look at how the algorithms perform in the dry versus rainy season, but also relative to the crop cycle. Do you have any recommendations on where I should start if I wanted to put together some rough cropping calendars for the Delta?

From Michelle.. I’m attaching a document that was produced by emeritus farm advisors here in San Joaquin County. I am noticing some things on it that I would like to revise. I think some of the windows could be shifted or widened, but this will give you a rough guide. This winter, I will work on revising this, but this should get you started.

@NadyaAlexander I added a sheet, Kc to the Metric Phase 2 sheet. I know that's not the best place for it, but that's for you to review. I'm assigning you this to review. If that's OK, I'll add it to the repo.

@qjhart We didn't have a chance to sit down and look at the Kc sheet yet. I'm not totally sure how it fits into a calendar. The goal for Michelle is for her to help us finalize a start date and end date for when we should be aggregating the Level 2 crops, so we can aggregate fallow / off season / multiple crops correctly. We don't want to lump ET from outside the growing season into our growing season estimates if possible, in the protocol discussions the idea has always been to have the 12-month ETc for a pixel be part of the full Delta / Delta region aggregation, but have the crop aggregation be specific to that crop's growing season. We have the PDF from Michelle, but she said it needed to be tweaked. If the CalSIMETAW spreadsheet is close to being this kind of idea, it would be good to look at both of them with her maybe? She knows we want her to review the planting and harvest calendar and she is waiting for documents to review from us.
