Ebony State Primary and Secondary (NDVI) Monthly Prevalence Weather Dataset (2010-2018)
Description
The weather data was collected primarily from Nigerian metrological Agency (NiMet) records from 2010-2018, while normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data was generated through remote application of sentinel-2 and both data was deployed to evaluate and monitor the mean temperature, relative humidity, precipitation growth rate of maize and rice. Specifically circular rice production assumption was examined by obtained values of NDVI in previous years and subsequent years. Note: The NDVI data was outsource using European Senitel-2, the data cannot be obtained from NiMet at the time of the study, however, can be made available upon request. Also there exist little discrepancy between NiMET data and Senitel-2 imagery at high spatial resolution values. To reduce possible flawed data, average value of both were used.

Steps to reproduce
The study consulted a climatologist in Nigeria to access NiMet record for the climate critical year (2010-2018) for the study. To obtained real-time condition of so-called cereal crops (rice and maize0 situation on-farm senitel-2 was used to capture the data which was analyzed using QGIS to get the reflection of relative humidity, air temperature , land surface temperature (LST) and precipitation rate on NDVI, which informed the farmer opinion on adaptation of circular rice production (CRP) obtained with correlation model which prove to have strong relation and was further tested with regression model.
