This data set utilizes the NASA Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI; spatial resolution: 250m) for the winter growing season (October-March). The methodology uses an automated algorithm identifying the EVI peak in each pixel for each year and linearly scales the EVI value between 0% and 100% cropped area within that particular pixel. Maps were then resampled to 1 km and were validated using high-resolution QuickBird, RapidEye, SkySat, and WorldView-2 images spanning 2008 to 2016 across 11 different agricultural regions of India. The spatial resolution of the data set is 1 km, resampled from 250m. The data are distributed as GeoTIFF and NetCDF files and are in WGS 84 projection.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "conformsTo": "http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmi", "description": "The metadata's original source.", "downloadURL": "https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/concepts/C3550194092-ESDIS.iso19115", "format": "ISO", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/granules?p=C3550194092-ESDIS", "format": "BIN", "mediaType": "application/octet-stream"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/data/set/india-india-annual-winter-cropped-area-2001-2016/maps/services", "format": "BIN", "mediaType": "application/octet-stream"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/downloads/docs-repo/india-india-annual-winter-cropped-area-2001-2016-documentation.pdf", "format": "PDF", "mediaType": "application/pdf"}], "identifier": "10.7927/H47D2S3W", "keyword": ["earth-science-economic-resources-human-dimensions-agriculture-production", "earth-science-land-use-land-cover-land-surface"], "license": "https://www.usa.gov/government-works", "modified": "2026-06-23", "programCode": ["026:000"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "ESDIS"}, "spatial": "[\"CARTESIAN\", [{\"NorthBoundingCoordinate\": 37.073831, \"WestBoundingCoordinate\": 68.106253, \"EastBoundingCoordinate\": 89.150397, \"SouthBoundingCoordinate\": 8.083816}]]", "temporal": "2001-03-31/2016-03-31", "theme": ["Earth Science"], "title": "India Annual Winter Cropped Area, 2001-2016"}
