Land surface phenology based crop maps for Continental United States 2000-2018

This data collection contains annual maps of crop types for Continental United States for the period 2000-2018 at spatial resolution of ~231m derived using MODIS Land Surface Phenology. This data collection is a companion to the paper <strong><em>Konduri, V., Kumar, J., Hargrove, W. W., Hoffman, F. M., Ganguly, A. R. (2020) Mapping Crops Within the Growing Season Across the United States. Remote Sensing of Environment (in revision)</em></strong>, which describes the methodology for development of these datasets, validation metrics and analysis. <strong><strong>Files in collection (20): </strong></strong> <strong><em>crop_map_predicted_[YEAR].nc</em>: </strong>Annual crop type maps for YEAR = 2000-2018 <strong><em>Crop_map_legend.csv</em>: </strong>Legend for crop type categories in the maps (Category numbers and legends for crop types are consistent with those used by USDA Crop Data Layer) <strong><strong>Data formats:</strong></strong> Annual crop type maps are in gridded NetCDF format. <strong><strong>Projection for geospatial data</strong> (in PROJ4 format):</strong> <pre><code class="language-bash">PROJCS["US_National_Atlas_Equal_Area", GEOGCS["sphere", DATUM["unknown", SPHEROID["Spherical_Earth",6370997,"inf"]], PRIMEM["Greenwich",0], UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]], PROJECTION["Lambert_Azimuthal_Equal_Area"], PARAMETER["latitude_of_center",45], PARAMETER["longitude_of_center",-100], PARAMETER["false_easting",0], PARAMETER["false_northing",0], UNIT["Meter",1]]</code></pre> <strong>Paper Citation:</strong> <strong><em>Konduri, V., Kumar, J., Hargrove, W.
