Crop yield estimation at a regional scale over a long period of time is of great significance to food security. In past decades, the integration of remote sensing observations and crop growth models has been recognized as a promising approach for crop growth monitoring and yield estimation. Optical remote sensing data are susceptible to cloud and rain, while synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can penetrate through clouds and has all-weather capabilities. This allows for more reliable and consistent crop monitoring and yield estimation in terms of radar sensor data. The aim of this study is to improve the accuracy for winter wheat yield estimation by assimilating time series soil moisture images, which are retrieved by a water cloud model using SAR and optical data as input, into the crop model. In this study, SAR images were acquired by C-band SAR sensors boarded on Sentinel-1 satellites and optical images were obtained from a Sentinel-2 multi-spectral instrument (MSI) for Hengshui city of Hebei province in China. Remote sensing data and ground data were all collected during the main growing season of winter wheat. Both the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), derived from Sentinel-2, and backscattering coefficients and polarimetric indicators, computed from Sentinel-1, were used in the water cloud model to derive time series soil moisture (SM) images. To improve the prediction of crop yields at the field scale, we incorporated remotely sensed soil moisture into the World Food Studies (WOFOST) model using the Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) algorithm. In general, the trend of soil moisture inversion was consistent with the ground measurements, with the coefficient of determination (R2) equal to 0.45, 0.53, and 0.49, respectively, and RMSE was 9.16%, 7.43%, and 8.53%, respectively, for three observation dates. The winter wheat yield estimation results showed that the assimilation of remotely sensed soil moisture improved the correlation of observed and simulated yields (R2 = 0.35; RMSE =934 kg/ha) compared to the situation without data assimilation (R2 = 0.21; RMSE = 1330 kg/ha). Consequently, the results of this study demonstrated the potential and usefulness of assimilating SM retrieved from both Sentinel-1 C-band SAR and Sentinel-2 MSI optical remote sensing data into WOFOST model for winter wheat yield estimation and could also provide a reference for crop yield estimation with data assimilation for other crop types.

HighlightsThe potential of fusing GF-1 WFV and MODIS data by the ESTARFM algorithm was demonstrated.A better time window selection method for estimating yields was provided.A better vegetation index suitable for yield estimation based on spatiotemporally fused data was identified.The effect of the spatial resolution of remote sensing data on yield estimations was visualized.Abstract. The accurate estimation of crop yields is very important for crop management and food security. Although many methods have been developed based on single remote sensing data sources, advances are still needed to exploit multisource remote sensing data with higher spatial and temporal resolution. More suitable time window selection methods and vegetation indexes, both of which are critical for yield estimations, have not been fully considered. In this article, the Chinese GaoFen-1 Wide Field View (GF-1 WFV) and Terra Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data were fused by the Enhanced Spatial and Temporal Adaptive Reflectance Fusion Model (ESTARFM) to generate time-series data with a high spatial resolution. Then, two time window selection methods involving distinguishing or not distinguishing the growth stages during the monitoring period, and three vegetation indexes, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), two-band enhanced vegetation index (EVI2) and wide dynamic range vegetation index (WDRVI), were intercompared. Furthermore, the yield estimations obtained from two different spatial resolutions of fused data and MODIS data were analyzed. The results indicate that taking the growth stage as the time window unit division basis can allow a better estimation of winter wheat yield; and that WDRVI is more suitable for yield estimations than NDVI or EVI2. This study demonstrates that the spatial resolution has a great influence on yield estimations; further, this study identifies a better time window selection method and vegetation index for improving the accuracy of yield estimations based on a multisource remote sensing data fusion.
