Temporal Resolution / Frequency Require Cumulative ETc • Continuous measurement or frequent enough to interpolate with sufficient accurately between measurements.
Requirements for Irrigation Scheduling Spatial Resolution • Acceptable – 50m • Preferred – 10m Temporal Resolution • Continuous • Weekly if good interpolation Near Real Time Easy to access and interpret Inexpensive

Development of Reflectance-Based Crop Coefficients for Corn Transactions of the ASABE. 32(6) 1891-1900. @1990 Christopher M. U. Neale, Walter C. Bausch, Dale F. Heermann ABSTRACT Concurrent measurements of reflected canopy radiation and the basal crop coefficient (Kcb) for corn were conducted throughout a season in order to develop a reflectance-based crop coefficient model. Reflectance was measured in Landsat Thematic Mapper bands TM3 (0.63 - 0.69 um) and TM4 (0.76 - 0.90 um) and used in the calculation of a vegetation index called the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI).

Comparing years June 2000
NDVI – fc – Kcb – ETcbApproach • Relatively simple, easy to implement, automate • Many RS image options, many resolutions • Fairly easy to interpolate/extrapolate – plant growth • Requires ground-based ETr • Indirect estimate of ETcb • Doesn’t include evaporation • Can’t estimate ETc of stressed crops
