Field-based Crop Performance Indicators for Europe (May–July 2022)

This dataset provides spatially explicit crop performance indicators for agricultural fields across Europe for the period from May 1 to July 31, 2022. The indicators were derived for parcels with known crop types based on the EU-wide crop-type map developed under Task 5.7 of the OpenEarthMonitor project. Key variables include: Cumulative NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) Cumulative Chlorophyll Index (CHL) Cumulative Growing Degree Days (GDD) All indicators were extracted at the centroid of each delineated field parcel. A crop performance index was computed per country and crop type, enabling comparative analysis across European agricultural landscapes. The data is provided as a point-based spatial layer (GeoPackage format), with each point representing a parcel centroid and its associated performance metrics. This dataset supports the development of a field-based crop performance and phenological monitoring service for Europe, which is currently under prototyping.
