IntroductionIntroductionTwo assumptions of the CWSI:1. As a crop transpires, the evaporation ofwater cools the leaves below the air
temperature.2. As a crop becomes water stressed, thetranspiration will decrease and thetemperature will then increase (Jackson 1982).

Crop Water Stress IndexCrop Water Stress Index
WheredT is the difference between the canopy temperature
and the air temperature (Tc - Ta),
dTu is the upper limit of Tc - Ta (non-transpiring), and
dT1 is the lower limit of Tc - Ta (well-watered).

ParametersParameters- For dT, fieldcalibratedtemperature data
(thanks to Cassie)used for Tc comes
from the MASTERthermal data.
- The airtemperaturesmeasured from theCIMIS station inBelridge are used

ResultsResults- The main input I was interested in wasthe temperatures from MASTER.
- The temperatures after the first
calibration were high and unrealistic.
- The temperatures after the secondcalibration were lower and realistic.

ResultsResults- The image to the left shows thedifference between the atmospherically
corrected and the first field calibratedcanopy temperature from MASTER and airtemperature from the CIMIS station (31.7C).
- The test field is the lower field.
- Most of the values positive. The averageTc Ta for the test field was 5.019598 C.
Average temp in the test field of 5.02 C is

ProblemsProblems- The image to the left shows the locationof the thermal gun measurements and theregions used for the canopy temperaturecalibration.- Thermal data from three trees were
available. The temperature values fromthe surrounding nine pixels wereaveraged.
- The difference of MASTER and thermalgun temperatures were then calculated
and averaged.

ConclusionsConclusionsThe CWSI values calculated with the averageddifference temperature calibration and the finaltemperature calibration were very comparable.
Temperature data that is much higher than expected
could possibly be calibrated to the canopytemperature if actual measurements of the canopytemperatures are available.
The final calibration of the temperature resulted incanopy temperatures lower than the airtemperature.
Both the averaged difference calibration and the
final calibration temperatures resulted in CWSI
