Short summary
The AquaCrop model has been incorporated into the NASA Land Information System, to advance regional crop growth simulations at any spatial resolution, with a range of different input sources for meteorology, soil and crop parameters. This system also facilitates the assimilation of satellite data to update the crop and water conditions during model simulations. We present three exploratory applications to highlight pathways for future research on regional-scale crop estimation.
