ChinaRiceCalendar

ChinaRiceCalendar is a raster calendar dataset for early, middle, and late rice in China with 1-km spatial resolution derived from MODIS data products. The dataset falls into two parts: calendar dates in detected rice pixels (*_rice_pixels.tif) and rice-producing counties (*_county_level.tif). The spatial reference system of the dataset is WGS_1984_UTM_Zone_49N. The dataset currently includes mean calendar dates during five periods: 2003~2007, 2008~2012, 2013~2017, 2018~2022, and 2003~2022. Related Publication: Li H, Wang X, Wang S, et al.
