Abstract
The European Commission requires in-season crop yield forecasts at a European level as part of the decision making process on market intervention and for policy support. For the past twenty years, the Monitoring Agricultural Resources (MARS) Unit of the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC) has operationally produced such forecasts using the MARS Crop Yield Forecasting System (MCYFS), a modelling infrastructure driven by agro-meteorological data and assisted by remotely sensed observations. The potential of quantitative assessments of crop canopy status by remote sensing is currently underexploited in MCYFS because the available data do not satisfy the requirements for crop specific monitoring and yield forecasting. After presenting the current MCYFS, this paper discusses these ideal data requirements with the objective to see how the forthcoming Sentinel3-OLCI data could satisfy them. 1.
