**UNOSAT code: FL20210907SDN** This map illustrates satellite detected waters and the related potentially affected croplands as deduced using a satellite KANOPUS-V image acquired on 12 September 2021 over the Aj Jabalain District, White Nile State of Sudan. In this area, about 170 km2 of croplands appear to be likely affected by the flood waters. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT)
This is a line dataset of the locations where a wadi (dried river bed) intersects a key access road in Sudan. The line gives the length of which the road is impacted by the wadi. This information was produced to understand which roads maybe more affected during the rainy season, when wadis can fill with water quickly. The dataset was produced in collaboration with the WFP Global Logistics Cluster. Please find more about the project here.

Sudan Current Situation FEWS NET Acute Food Insecurity Classifications Geographic data for 2022
The ICA is a process of consultations supported by mapped-out data that produces a strategic plan describing where different combinations of programme themes are appropriate to achieve goals of reducing food insecurity and climate related shock risk. The ICA combines multi-year food security trends with natural shock risk data to highlight sub-national areas where different programme strategies make sense. Food security trend maps shows areas where safety nets can address regular food insecurity, and others where shocks make recovery more important. Climate-related natural shock risk maps show where DRR, preparedness and early warning efforts can complement food-security objectives. Atop this core foundation, mapped data on subjects including nutrition, gender, livelihoods and resilience can enrich theme-level strategic planning in which all pieces work together. The full group of ICA partners discuss these analytical results to arrive at strategic programmatic directions.

Net Primary Production (NPP) is a fundamental characteristic of an ecosystem, expressing the conversion of carbon dioxide into biomass driven by photosynthesis. The pixel value represents the mean daily NPP for that specific dekad. The data is provided in near real time from January 2009 to 2023. **Data publication:** 2020-01-01 **Supplemental Information:** No data value: -9999 Unit: g/m² Scale Factor : 0.1 Map code : L3-NPP-D Conversion factor: the pixel value in the downloaded data must be multiplied by 0.001 New dekadal data layers are released approximately 5 days after the end of a dekad. A higher quality version of the same data layer is uploaded after 6 dekads have passed. This final version of the dekadal dataset has a higher quality because gap filling and interpolation processes, where needed, have been based on more data observations. **Citation:** FAO 2018.

Total Biomass Production (TBP) is defined as the sum of the above-ground dry matter produced during the course of the growing season. The seasonal value represents the total accumulated biomass during one growing season, from start of season (SOS) to end of season (EOS). A pixel value of -9997 denotes "out of season". The data is provided in near real time from January 2009 to 2022. **Data publication:** 2020-01-01 **Supplemental Information:** No data value: -9999 Unit: kg/ha Scale Factor : 0.1 Map code : L3-TBP-S New dekadal data layers are released approximately 5 days after the end of a dekad. A higher quality version of the same data layer is uploaded after 6 dekads have passed. This final version of the dekadal dataset has a higher quality because gap filling and interpolation processes, where needed, have been based on more data observations. This implies that other temporal aggregations (monthly, seasonal, annual), and layers that depend on those, are updated as well. Practically this means that a final annual aggregation of the most recent full calendar year can only be produced after the end of February. Likewise, the final monthly aggregation of the most recent calendar months can only be produced 2 full months later. **Citation:** FAO 2018. WaPOR Database Methodology: Level 3.

Licence: CC-BY-4.0 **Contact points:** Metadata Contact: [WaPOR](mailto:wapor@fao.org) Resource Contact: [WaPOR](mailto:wapor@fao.org) **Data lineage:** To derive the accumulation in biomass production over or during a growing season, first the start and the end of the growing season need to be identified using the phenology data component. TBP is then calculated as the sum of NPP, converted into dry matter productivity (DMP) units (kg/ha), between the start of the season (SOS) and the end of the season (EOS). At the end of the season, when the crops for the area can be assessed, the dekadal and seasonal TBP values are adjusted using an additional root-shoot correction factor data layer that allows the user to correct the TBP using the land cover specific root-shoot values. A limitation for the derivation of TBP is the dependency on phenological information, meaning that TBP can only be derived for areas where seasonality is detected. For ecosystems, such as tropical forests or deserts, that experience almost no seasonality, the start of season is theoretically set at January 1st and end of season is set at December 31st.

The seasonal Gross Biomass Water Productivity expresses the quantity of output (above ground biomass production) in relation to the total volume of water consumed (actual EvapoTranspiration) during the growing cycle of the vegetation. By relating biomass production to total EvapoTranspiration (sum of soil evaporation, canopy transpiration and interception), this indicator provides insights on the impact of vegetation development on consumptive water use and thus on water balance in a given domain. When the focus is on monitoring performance of irrigated agriculture in relation to water consumption, it is more appropriate to use transpiration alone as a denominator, as a measure of water beneficially consumed by the plant. This latter indicator, for which we use the term \"net water productivity\", provides useful information on how effectively vegetation (and particularly crops) uses water to develop its biomass (and thus yield). The data is provided in near real time from January 2010 to 2019. **Data publication:** 2021-01-01 **Supplemental Information:** No data value: -9999 Unit: kg/m³ Scale Factor : 0.1 Map code : L3-GBWP-S Conversion factor: the pixel value in the downloaded data must be multiplied by 0.001 **Citation:** FAO 2018.

The seasonal Net Biomass Water Productivity expresses the quantity of output (total biomass production) in relation to the total volume of water beneficially consumed (through canopy transpiration) during the growing cycle of the vegetation. Contrary to gross water productivity, net water productivity is particularly useful in monitoring how effectively vegetation (and, more importantly, crops) uses water to develop biomass (and thus yield). The data is provided in near real time from January 2010 to 2019. **Data publication:** 2021-01-01 **Supplemental Information:** No data value: -9999 Unit: kg/m³ Scale Factor : 0.1 Map code : L3-NBWP-S Conversion factor: the pixel value in the downloaded data must be multiplied by 0.001 **Citation:** FAO 2018.

Phenology indicates the cycle or season of a crop and, in this case, is defined by the dekad (D) corresponding to the start, maximum and end of the growing season. This information can be derived from satellite-based vegetation index time series. Phenology is delivered for a maximum of two growing seasons annually. The phenology for one growing season is therefore delivered as three raster files. The first raster indicates the Start of Season (SOS), the second the Maximum of Season (MOS) and the third represents the End of Season (EOS). With a maximum of 2 growing seasons annually, a full year is described by 6 raster files. The pixel values of the phenology data components are expressed in dekad numbers. The data is provided in near real time from January 2009 to 2022. **Data publication:** 2020-01-01 **Supplemental Information:** No data value: 255 Unit: D (dekad number) Scale Factor : 0.1 Map code : L3-PHE-S **Citation:** FAO 2018.

Licence: CC-BY-4.0 **Contact points:** Metadata Contact: [WaPOR](mailto:wapor@fao.org) Resource Contact: [WaPOR](mailto:wapor@fao.org) **Data lineage:** The year that contains the Maximum of season determines the year a growing season is attributed to (i.e. the target year). As the crop calendar is determined from a three-year NDVI time series with the target year in the middle, dekad numbers range between 1 and 108 (3 x 36 = 108 dekads). Since it occurs in the target year, MOS has a value between 37 and 72. Start of season pixel values must be smaller than 72, whilst End of season pixel values must be larger than 36. 254 denotes "no season" (if no growing season can be distinguished), and 253 "out of season". The Start, Maximum and End of up to two seasons for a given calendar year (January - December) is derived by applying the methodology described by Van Hoolst et al. (see methodology document for references). This methodology can derive phenological information from a time series of dekadal vegetation index composites, in this case NDVI.

All land cover maps contain a fraction of falsely classified pixels. At level 3, the land cover classification quality layer combines the result of the machine learning classifier quality output, with flags that indicate when pixels were reclassified during post-processing: - a flag value of 240 indicates that a pixel was reclassified using a fixed mask (used in isolated cases). - a flag value of 241 indicates that a pixel was reclassified during post-processing. Pixel values represent the accuracy of the classification expressed in percentage (%). A quality value close to 100 represents more certainty regarding the classification, whilst pixel values close to 0 indicate pixels for which the classification is less accurate. **Resource constraints:** Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC-BY-4.0) **Online resources:** Download the data from Google Cloud Storage
The layer gives an indication of the quality of the NDVI input data. It shows whether a valid observation was available for that dekad, and if not, the length of the data gap since the nearest valid observation, in dekads.

The quality index (QI) for every pixel in each dekad depicts the number of dekads since the last valid observation used for reconstruction. The fundamental idea is that the longer the gap, the less reliable the smoothing is. When a number of consecutive dekads did not have direct observations for calculating the NDVI, the quality layer pixel value of the consecutive dekadal NDVI quality layers will represent the cumulative number of dekads since a valid observation. The user can use consecutive NDVI Quality layers to calculate the length of the gap between valid observations. In the case that the pixel observation is usable and no reconstruction was needed, the QI is set to 0 (ideal situation). For the observations at the profile edges, it is assumed that the (a priori unknown) observations preceding the first valid observation and following the last valid observations are "good".\n\nThis quality layer depicts the quality for the NDVI, fAPAR, albedo and NPP, as all these data components rely on the same input, i.e. the spectral reflectance data.

The Penman-Monteith equation predicts the rate of total evaporation and transpiration using commonly measured meteorological data (solar radiation, air temperature, vapour content and wind speed). It has become the FAO standard for calculating the actual and reference evapotranspiration (see FAO Irrigation and Drainage paper 56, Allen et al. 1998).

Practically this means that a final annual aggregation of the most recent full calendar year can only be produced after the end of February. Likewise, the final monthly aggregation of the most recent calendar months can only be produced 2 full months later. **Citation:** FAO 2018. WaPOR Database Methodology: Level 3.

The Evaporation (E) data component (dekadal, in mm/day) is the actual evaporation of the soil surface. The value of each pixel represents the average daily actual evaporation for that specific dekad. The data is provided in near real time from January 2009 to 2023. **Data publication:** 2020-01-01 **Supplemental Information:** No data value: 255 Unit: mm Scale Factor : 0.1 Map code : L3-E-D Conversion factor: the pixel value in the downloaded data must be multiplied by 0.1 New dekadal data layers are released approximately 5 days after the end of a dekad. A higher quality version of the same data layer is uploaded after 6 dekads have passed. This final version of the dekadal dataset has a higher quality because gap filling and interpolation processes, where needed, have been based on more data observations. **Citation:** FAO 2018.

(2012). It uses the Penman-Monteith equation, adapted to remote sensing input data. The Penman-Monteith equation predicts the rate of total evaporation and transpiration using commonly measured meteorological data (solar radiation, air temperature, vapour content and wind speed). It has become the FAO standard for calculating the actual and reference evapotranspiration (see FAO Irrigation and Drainage paper 56, Allen et al. 1998). The following data is used for calculating evaporation: - Daily: incoming solar radiation and weather data (temperature, humidity, wind speed and precipitation); - Dekadal: NDVI, surface albedo and soil moisture stress; - Seasonal: Land Cover; - Static: Digital Elevation Model. Data component developed through collaboration with the FRAME Consortium.

The raster dataset represents top location score areas suitable for groundnut storage, filtered by exclusive criteria: access to finance, distance to major roads, and access to IT (mobile broadband connection). Access to finance and roads are defined using a linear distance threshold: • Banks - approx. 10km buffer radius. • Major roads - approx. 2km buffer radius. Access to IT is characterized by applying the mobile broadband coverage map. The location score is achieved by processing sub-model outputs characterizing logistical factors for crop warehouse siting: Supply, demand, Infrastructure/accessibility. The location score from 0 to 100 is then obtained through a simple arithmetic weighted sum of the normalized/scaled grids.
