I) SUMMARY This database contains harmonized time series for the study of crop yields using remote sensing data and meteorological data. We collected information on soybean, corn, and wheat yields (t/ha) over the CONUS (continuous US) from USDA-NASS for years 20152018 at a county level, and collocated time series for the following variables: Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) from MODIS satellite (MOD13C1 v6 product) Soil Moisture (SM) from SMAP satellite through MT-DCA algorithm Vegetation Optical Depth (VOD) from SMAP satellite through MT-DCA algorithm Maximum temperature (TMAX) from Daymet v3 Precipitation (PRCP) from Daymet v3 II) CONTACT For questions, please email Laura Martnez-Ferrer at laura.martinez-ferrer@uv.es III) DATABASE For each crop type, we provided CSV files containing the time series of the variables and yield described above. Furthermore, additional information for spatial and temporal identification such as a county identifier and a year are included. Lastly, country-shapefiles (.shp) are added for geospatial representation. Further details in readme.txt file. IV) CITE We kindly encourage to cite the following works if this database is used L.
