Synopsis and Problem Statement More than 30% of people (primarily children) in sub-Saharan
Africa are undernourished Climatic shocks drive domestic food prices and production Crop monitoring and early warning is an effective mitigation
tool Remote sensing and surface reanalysis modeling techniques
enhance crop monitoring and early warning Crop stress (proportional to moisture in the root zone) can
lead to significant declines in crop yield
How can remotely sensed estimates of evapotranspiration (ET) be integrated with surface reanalysis data to augment crop monitoring?

Indices of Crop Stress
Precipitation– PDSE, PDSE-z, and CMI
(Palmer 1965)– SPI (McKee et al. 1993)
Vegetation– NDVI and VHI (Kogan 1995)
Evapotranspiration (ET)– WRSI (Doorenbos and Pruitt
1977)– ESI (Anderson 2007)
Soil Moisture (Koster and Suarez 1996)

Crop stress is directly proportional to the amount of moisture in the root zone (transpiration). Therefore evaporation from the canopy and soil is negligible:
Assuming evaporation from the canopy and soil is negligible, ESI can be derived in terms of Fisher transpiration:
RN and PET (two highly uncertain ET terms) are eliminated.
