This repository contains the data used in the manuscript titled "Persistence patterns in sub-field crop water use to guide variable rate management."

Contents of the Repository

1. COG (Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs)

This folder contains three Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFFs (COGs):

• persistence_new_RAT_lyr_magicValley_1986_2020_cog.tif
  Displays areas within the agricultural fields of Magic Valley that, relative to the field average, exhibit persistently different or similar crop water use.

• difference_new_RAT_lyr_magicValley_1986_2020_cog.tif
  Shows all areas within the field that demonstrate persistently higher or lower than field-average crop water use.

• difference_5percent_new_RAT_lyr_magicValley_1986_2020_cog.tif
  Highlights areas within the field that have persistently higher or lower than field-average crop water use by at least 5%.

These layers can be visualized through the Google Earth Engine application at the following link:

2. Field_Boundaries

This folder contains a layer that provides following information at each field in Magic Valley:

• Dominant crop type
• Irrigation status
• Percent persistence
