Determination of patterns of rainfall history creating situations for accurate classification of rain-fed paddy fields with SAR backscatter coefficients
Keisuke Hoshikawa; Kazuo Watanabe; Takanori Nagano; Akihiko Kotera; Yoichi Fujihara, © 2017 Elsevier B.V. It is worthwhile to classify paddy fields based on the long-term frequency of ponding, which strongly determines the yield of rice. However, the direct measurement of the frequency requires a large number of backscatter images from synthetic aperture radar (SAR). Another approach is the indirect estimation of the relative frequency of ponding from differences in ponding frequency with the same rainfall history. Any combination of backscatter coefficients with such rainfall history should result in a high accuracy of classification of paddy fields based on the relative frequency of ponding. This study aims to establish methodologies for the classification of rain-fed paddy fields into two categories: ‘wet’ and ‘dry’ fields, based on ponding frequency using a small number of time-series SAR backscatter coefficients that depend on the flood situation and soil water content of the land surface. By analyzing 21 images acquired by the ALOS-PALSAR during 2007–2011, patterns of rainfall history with obvious large differences between the two categories of paddy fields were determined. Through supervised classifications using a random forest classifier, it was evident that the backscatter coefficients onset of rainy seasons for years with an above average precipitation, would be suitable as variables for accurate classification. In years where the precipitation (1379 mm/year) neared the average (1330 mm/year), the supplementary use of a quartile deviation of the backscatter coefficient within each plot, that indicated a degree of partial ponding, increased the classification accuracy. It was also evident that the effective rainfall index, which registers a rough estimate of rainwater acculturation in the soil, was useful in the determination of periods of significantly large variations in the backscatter coefficient between categories of rice fields.

Assessing the degree of flood damage to rice crops in the Chao Phraya delta, Thailand, using MODIS satellite imaging
Akihiko Kotera; Takanori Nagano; Patinya Hanittinan; Sucharit Koontanakulvong, The Chao Phraya delta in Thailand is a major rice production area. It is often subject to large flooding events, which may result in widespread crop failures, as most recently recorded in 2011 and 2006. The extent of flood damage in such areas is commonly assessed by field surveys. In this study, we investigate the spatial extent of flood damage to rice production in the Chao Phraya delta from 2000 to 2011 using moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer satellite images. We examine the temporal relationship between the harvest time, estimated from the time-series enhanced vegetation index (EVI), and the onset of inundation, estimated from the time-series land surface-water index and EVI. The total area of rice damage throughout nine provinces in the Chao Phraya delta during the severe flood in 2011 was estimated to be 79,189 ha, of which 41,410 ha was estimated as total damage. The damage in 2011 was particularly severe on the eastern side of the Chao Phraya River, and we found that most of the paddy fields that experienced flood damage in 2006 did not experience similar damage in 2011, despite the longer inundation period. Analysis over this 12-year period showed that there were few areas that were repeatedly subjected to damage, highlighting successful adaptations to avoid damage. This novel approach to agronomic flood-damage assessment using high temporal resolution imaging proposed in this study proved to be a promising tool for agronomic flood-damage assessments, which enable quick investigations providing valuable findings from wide area and long-term perspectives., SPRINGER HEIDELBERG

A global dataset of noiseless time-series vegetation and water indices for farmland analysis
Akihiko Kotera; Takanori Nagano; Suha Berberoglu; Mehmet Ali Cullu, Time-series vegetation and water indices derived from remote sensing images are crucial materials for farmland analysis based on crop phenology and monitoring such as classification of cropping patterns and monitoring of crop growth and productivities. However, the optical remote-sensing images often contain problematic pixels, such as those affected by thick clouds and its shadows, resulting a noisy time-series data which is inadequate to use for farmland analysis. Lack of the high quality noiseless time-series data products have been a bottleneck for many studies on farmland analysis using remote-sensing data in both of global and local scales. Hence we aims in this study to produce remote-sensing data archives containing noiseless smoothed time-series Normalized Vegetation Index (NDVI), Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), Land Surface Water Index (LSWI), and RGB composite (true color) image, covering global wide with the adequately downscaled 250-m resolution in 8-days interval from the period of 2000 to 2014 and up-to-date, derived from based on the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor images. The processing system for generating the global noiseless time-series data in this study is consist of four modules; image acquisition, preprocessing, noise reduction, and data archiving, implemented in Interactive Data Language (IDL) with PDP (Parallel Distributed Processing). Data products are derived from two sets of Terra/MODIS surface-reflectance 8-day composite data (MOD09Q1 v005 (250-m resolution) and MOD09A1 v005 (500-m resolution)) acquired from LP DAAC (Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center, USGS) on a regular basis automatically to update the latest products. To generate noiseless and smooth time-series data, we applied following well-established procedure: 1) Eliminate cloud and sensor noise pixels by referring the image quality information: 2) Reconstruct daily time-series data by referring the actual date of observation for each pixels: 3) Synthesize daily time-series Terra and Aqua: 4) Interpolate eliminated pixel value on time-series axis by liner interpolation method: 5) Apply the Savitzky-Golay filtering to time-series data to produce smoothed time-series data. Denoised true color image can be used for visually checking the quality of noise reduction. Data products are mapped by MODIS Sinusoidal Tiling System, and archived with Hierarchical Data Format-Earth Observing System (HDF-EOS) format containing various meta-information, which are the standard archive format for MODIS Land products distributed by USGS, so that users can use existing favorite tools such the MODIS Reprojection Tool (MRT) for handling the archives. The advanced noiseless time-series vegetation and water indices data archives produced in this study would contribute significantly to advanced analysis and monitoring of the crop production., IEEE

Classification of crop fields in northeast Thailand based on hydrological characteristics detected by L-band SAR backscatter data
Keisuke Hoshikawa; Takanori Nagano; Akihiko Kotera; Kazuo Watanabe; Yoichi Fujihara; Osamu Kozan, Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) backscatter amplitude image data have proven useful in estimating soil moisture levels and in approximating areas of water inundation over large regions. Based on the pattern of seasonal change in the backscatter coefficient at each image pixel, this study classified a variety of crop fields in Northeast Thailand according to their hydrological characteristics. L-band horizontal-transmit horizontal-receive (HH) polarization images from advanced land observing satellite phased array type L-band synthetic aperture radar (ALOS-PALSAR) at six dates from January to December over the rainy season (May to November) in 2007 were used. Fifteen clusters of pixels were generated using the k-means method, with five variables obtained by taking the difference between the backscatter coefficient for the dry season (January) and the other five dates, effectively removing effects of soil surface roughness. As a result, a detailed spatial distribution of hydrological characteristics that accurately reflected topographical features and hydrological conditions was obtained., TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD

Water level change and its factor analysis in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta
Fujihara Yoichi; Hoshikawa Keisuke; Fujii Hideto; Kotera Akihiko; Nagano Takanori; Yokoyama Shigeki, We considered four factors that could have increased the water level in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta: (1) sea level rise, (2) land subsidence, (3) flood, and (4) decrease in flood mitigation functions due to dyke constructions. First, we classified the Delta into two groups; one area is dominated by flows from upstream, while the other is mainly dominated by tide. Moreover, we obtained the trend of maximum and minimum water level. We used NDVI to estimate the area of dyke construction. It is found that the dyke area does not coincide with the area of maximum water level increase. The area with the maximum water level increase correlates with the area with the minimum water level increase. The area with the minimum water level increase is located in the tide-dominated zone, indicating that the increase in the maximum water level is caused by the sea level rise and land subsidence., THE JAPAN SOCIETY OF HYDROLOGY AND WATER RESOURCES

A modeling approach for assessing rice cropping cycle affected by flooding, salinity intrusion and monsoon rains in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam
Kotera, A; N. D. Khang; T. Sakamoto; T. Iizumi; M. Yokozawa, We developed a crop scheduling model for rice cultivation in the Vietnam Mekong Delta (VMD), focusing on the adaptive behavior of crop planning to various water resource constraints. In addition, we also examined the effects of environmental change on rice cultivation in the last decade. In the VMD, multiple rice cropping is practiced under a variety of adverse water conditions, including flooding, salinity intrusion, and irregular monsoon rains. These environmental changes influence the durations of growing seasons and the number of crops per year, resulting in changes in productivity. To validate the performance of the model, we compared model estimates for the heading date and changes in leaf area index at nine sites with estimates of these parameters derived from MODIS satellite time series data for the period 2002-2006. The root mean square errors of heading date between the modeled and satellite data in the upper, middle, and coastal regions of the delta were 17.6, 11.2, and 13.0 days, respectively. Based on the model, we examined case studies to assess the changes in cropping cycles and crop failures in the VMD due to extreme flooding in 2000 and salinity intrusion in 2004 by applying evaluation indices defined by available period for cultivation (APC) and safe margin for cropping (SMC) which is defined as the marginal time between APC and the period required for cultivation. Findings of case studies suggested that a small difference in the SMC of the cropping pattern is critical to the stability and productive capacity of the rice crop. © 2013 Springer Japan.

Statistical downscaling with Bayesian inference: Estimating global solar radiation from reanalysis and limited observed data
Iizumi, T; M. Nishimori; M. Yokozawa; A. Kotera; N. D. Khang, Daily global solar radiation (SR) is one of essential weather inputs for crop, hydrological, and other simulation models to calculate biomass production and potential evapotranspiration. The availability of long-term observed SR data is, however, limited, especially in developing countries. This hinders climate applications in various sectors in these countries. To overcome this difficulty, we here propose a method to infer the reasonable daily SR condition for past decades from global reanalysis and limited observed SR data. The method consists of the regression-based statistical downscaling method and two empirical models for estimating the SR condition (i.e. the S-model and the DTR/RH-model). These empirical models were independent in terms of the variables explaining the SR condition. The regression models were trained on the basis of the SR conditions estimated by the S-model and the DTR/RH-model instead of the observed SR data. The Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique was applied to determine the parameter values of these models that guide the models to provide SR conditions that are close in value to each other at both the site and domain-mean scales. After that, we computed the SR condition over the 30 years from 1978 through 2007 at 17 sites in the Vietnam Mekong Delta area using the determined parameter values. The inferred SR condition was close in value to the corresponding observations available from the literature. This suggests that the proposed method yielded a reasonable inference of the SR condition at the sites despite the limited availability of observed SR data. The provided estimates of the daily SR condition over the past 30 years are useful for climate applications in agricultural, hydrological, and other sectors in this area. © 2011 Royal Meteorological Society.

Agro-ecological interpretation of rice cropping systems in flood-prone areas using MODIS imagery
Toshihiro Sakamoto; Toshihiro Sakamoto; Phung Van Cao; Nhan Van Nguyen; Akihiko Kotera; Masayuki Yokozawa, This study attempts a new approach using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (modis) time-series imagery to evaluate the agro-ecological interpretation of rice-cropping systems in flood-prone areas. A series of wavelet-based methodologies were applied to reveal the dynamic relationships among annual flood inundation, rice phenology, and land-use change in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (vmd). The rice-heading dates of multi- cropping areas were estimated by detecting the local maximal points in smoothed Enhanced Vegetation Index (evi) profiles, using the Wavelet-based Filter for determining Crop Phenology (wfcp) and Wavelet-based Filter for evaluating the spatial distribution of Cropping Systems (wfcs) methods. The temporal information for annual flood intensity was determined for the six annual flood seasons over the period from 2000 to 2005 by the Wavelet- based Filter for detecting spatio-temporal changes in the Flood Inundation (wffi) method. Analysis using remote sensing techniques revealed an interaction between the regional environment and agricultural activity in the vmd. First, comparing the estimated heading date of the winter- spring rice with the end date of flood inundation showed that the cropping season for the winter-spring rice in the flood-prone area fluctuates depending on the annual change in flood scale. This result implied that the onset of winter-spring rice is spatially and temporally linked to the variable flood-recession season, and hence the annual change in flood scale. Secondly, the field survey study of the yearly change in the rice-cropping system in the An Giang province from 2000 to 2006 showed that the triple rice-cropped area in the An Giang province expanded from 2000 to 2005, because the construction of a ring-dyke system and water-resource infrastructure allowed an additional rice crop to be sustained during the flood season. However, the area of the third rice crop in the An Giang province decreased drastically in 2006 as a result of the management of pest outbreaks. Although the regional water-resource environment was gradually transformed by the construction of water-resource infrastructure, in order to achieve favorable conditions for a third rice crop during the flood season, the rapid change in land-use for agricultural activity may complicate the spatio-temporal configuration of the agricultural environment in the vmd. This case study used modis time-series imagery to help understand the functions of the macro-scale ecosystem, including annual flood regimes and human activity. © 2009 American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing.

Regional Consequences of Seawater Intrusion on Rice Productivity and Land Use in Coastal Area of the Mekong River Delta
Akihiko Kotera; Toshihiro Sakamoto; Duy Khang Nguyen; Masayuki Yokozawa, This study investigates rice productivity in the coastal area of the Mekong River Delta, Vietnam focusing on relationships with the influences of seawater intrusion and recent changes in the land use at regional scale. We examined the statistical data on rice production at 30 districts of 4 provinces in the coastal area for the years 2003-2005, together with the average salinity concentration observed at 48 points in canals and rivers during the dry season. As an index of the extent of seawater intrusion to be compared with rice statistical data in each district, average salinity of each district was derived by using spatial interpolation from the data in the observation points. It was shown that seawater intrusion was the major factor leading to regional differences in rice cropping systems and land use patterns in the region. Rice cropping intensities, which is defined as the ratio of planted area to district area, decreased with increasing salinity level in canal water, but rice yields averaged over the district are independent of the salinity level. To avoid salinity stress to rice growth, rice cultivation in the coastal area is mainly undertaken during the period when seawater intrusion is weakened by the seasonal decrease in salinity in the rainy season. Specifically, in districts with high salinity, the salinity-free duration required for rice cultivation is short. There, rice cropping intensities are potentially limited by the salinity. In addition, recently, the area of paddy fields in the coastal area has been decreased through land use conversion to aquaculture, especially shrimp farms. Intensity of aquaculture, which requires brackish water, was also limited by seawater intrusion. Thus., rice production in the coastal area of the Mekong Delta was limited by the interrelationship between seawater intrusion and land-use diversification., JAPAN INT RESEARCH CENTER AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES

Detecting temporal changes in the extent of annual flooding within the Cambodia and the Vietnamese Mekong Delta from MODIS time-series imagery
Toshihiro Sakamoto; Nhan Van Nguyen; Akihiko Kotera; Hiroyuki Ohno; Naoki Ishitsuka; Masayuki Yokozawa, This paper presents the methodology used to detect temporal changes in the extent of annual flooding within the Cambodia and the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD) based on MODIS time-series imagery (Wavelet-based Filter for detecting spatio-temporal changes in Flood Inundation; WFFI). This methodology involves the use of a wavelet-based filter to interpolate missing information and reduce the noise component in the time-series data, as proposed in a previous study. The smoothed time profiles of Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), Land Surface Water Index (LSWI), and the Difference Value between EVI and LSWI (DVEL) are obtained from MOD09 8-day composite time-series data (resolution: 500 m; time period: 2000-2005). The proposed algorithm was applied to produce time-series inundation maps (WFFI products) for the five annual flood seasons over the period from 2000 to 2004. The WFFI products were validated via comparisons with Landsat-derived results and inundation maps based on RADARSAT images, hydrological data, and digital elevation model data. Compared with the RADARSAT-derived inundation maps at the province level, the obtained RMSE range from 364 to 443 km2 and the determination coefficients [R2] range from 0.89 to 0.92. Compared with Landsat-derived results at the 10-km grid level, the obtained RMSE range from 6.8 to 15.2 km2 and the determination coefficients [R2] range from 0.77 to 0.97. The inundated area of flooded forests/marsh to the northeast of Tonle Sap Lake were underestimated, probably because of extensive vegetation cover in this area. The spatial characteristics of the estimated start dates, end dates, and duration of inundation cycles were also determined for the period from 2000 to 2004. There are clear contrasts in the distribution of the estimated end dates and duration of inundation cycles between large-scale floods (2000-2002) and medium- and small-scale floods (2003 and 2004). At the regional scale, the estimated start dates for the southern part of An Giang Province during 2003 and 2004 was distinctly later than that for surrounding areas. The results indicate that these triple-cropping areas enclosed by dikes increased in extent from 2003 to 2004. In contrast, the estimated end dates of inundation at the Co Do and Song Hau State Farms were clearly earlier than those for surrounding areas, although the estimated start dates were similar. Temporal changes in the inundation area of Flood pixels in the Dong Thap and Long An Provinces are in excellent agreement with daily water-level data recorded at Tan Chau Station. The estimated area of Long-term water body increased in size from 2000 to 2004, especially in coastal areas of the Ca Mau and Bac Lieu Provinces. Statistical data for Vietnam indicate that this trend may reflect the expansion of shrimp-farming areas. The WFFI products enable an understanding of seasonal and annual changes in the water distribution and environment of the Cambodia and the VMD from a global viewpoint. © 2007 Elsevier Inc.

Role of plant height in the submergence tolerance of rice: A simulation analysis using an empirical model
Akihiko Kotera; Eiji Nawata, This study explored how plant height increment as a measure of growth affected the interaction between submergence tolerance and hydrographic conditions, and also examined which growth stages were the most sensitive and the most tolerant to flash floods using an empirical simulation model. The factors affecting submergence yield losses in the model were assumed to be the start date, the duration, and the depth of submergence. The duration and depth of submergence were calculated from simple hydrographic factors and plant height. The increment of plant height affected both submergence avoidance and the duration of submergence. It appeared that the yield losses of rice plants that were submerged in the early vegetative phase exceeded the losses of plants submerged in the reproductive phase under almost all hydrographic conditions. The results indicate that plants submerged at the end of the vegetative phase had robustness to yield losses, and that the growth stage immediately following transplanting was the most sensitive.

Application of wavelet analysis to the multi-temporal modis data for detecting the rice phenology
Toshihiro Sakamoto; Akihiko Kotera; Naoki Ishitsuka; Hiroyuki Ohno; Nhan Van Nguyen; Masayuki Yokozawa, We examined the spatial pattern of rice phenology in the Red River Delta (RRD) by using time-series MODIS data in 2003. We applied the Wavelet based Filter for determining Crop Phenology (WFCP) to assess the seasonal change of EVI data reflecting from the crop status. Time courses of smoothed EVI derived by WFCP showed two peaks on April-March and August-September, indicating that double rice cropping is mainly being performed in RRD. It was also shown that there are winter-spring rice cropping areas in eastern RRD (Hai Duong province, Hai Phong province and Thai Binh province) where cultivation period is about two weeks earlier than the other provinces. Furthermore, spatially heterogeneous distribution of heading dates for rainy season rice was detected by the spatio-temporal EVI. MODIS EVI with WFCP enable us to grasp the geographical characteristics of agricultural activity in RRD i.e. spatial pattern of rice cropping system, phenology and its recent changing trend with high accuracy.

Effect of Submergence on Rice Yield in the Red River Delta, Vietnam
Kotera; A; Nawata; E; Thao; L.V; Vuong; N.V; Sakuratani; T, The yield of rice after 5 days of complete submergence at different growth stages was compared between the high-yielding varieties (HYVs), Tap Giao 4 and CR203, and a local variety, Moc Tuyen, cultivated extensively in the Red River Delta, Vietnam, to assess the difference in the rice flooding tolerance before and after the introduction of HYVs, which are generally considered to be susceptible to flooding. Although the variety with the most severe yield reduction was different depending on he growth stages when submerged, the yield of Moc Tuyen was the lowest among the three varieties except for submergence at the tillering stages. Based on these results and the pattern of severe flooding occurrence, it appears that flooding damage to rice production was not anticipated to increase by the introduction of these two HYVs in this region. Then, we tested further aspects of the effect of submergence at different growth stages for different durations of 2, 5 and 8 days, and water depths, namely submergence of three-quarters or full submergence of the plants, using CR203, to detect critical conditions, under which yield reduction would be enhanced. When the plants were submerged at the tillering stages with three-quarters of plants height, the yields hardly decreased even in the 8 days of submergence, whereas in the plants with complete submergence, the yields decreased severely by submergence lasting for more than 5 days. It could thus be possible to mitigate the yield reduction of CR203 at the tillering stages by limiting the duration of complete submergence to less than 2 days., Japanese Society for Tropical Agriculture

A model for phenological development of Vietnamese rice influenced by transplanting shock
A Kotera; E Nawata; P Van Chuong; NN Giao; T Sakuratani, Phasic development of rice is influenced by various climatic conditions and the nursery duration. As a step toward the analysis of yield potential and yield loss in the Red River Delta, Vietnam, we conducted field trials with different nursery durations and transplanting times to develop a model for estimating heading times of a non-photosensitive cultivar CR203 in the Red River Delta. Days from seedling emergence to heading varied from 73 to 106 d, the rainy season crops having a shorter duration than the winter-spring season crops. The heading time could generally be estimated by the function of air temperature, but the delay in heading due to transplanting (transplanting shock), defined as the difference in the days from emergence to heading between transplanted and direct-seeded rice, ranged from 1 to 9 d and caused a substantial error in the heading time estimation. This variation in the delay of heading was explained as a function of the seedling age at the transplanting time. The model considering the transplanting shock estimated the heading dates in the independent data sets obtained at fields of local farmers with root mean square deviation (RMSD) of 2.15, while the model not considering the transplanting shock estimated those with a RMSD of 3.34. We conclude that this simple transplanting shock model was applicable for estimating the rice phasic development in the Red River Delta., CROP SCIENCE SOC JAPAN
