The study was conducted over an agricultural site in the Red River
Watershed located south-west of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. This watershed is an important region of Canada for agricultural
production and although the cropping system is diverse, several croptypes (such as canola, wheat, corn and soybeans) dominate in terms of total acreage. The ground and image data were collected during a 2012 campaign to assist in the pre-launch calibration and validation of the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite.
