## Details of the script

The script is applicable to monitor crop condition over the global scale and invariant to crop types. The vegetation indices developed here utilize the GRD product. First, the VH/VV ratio is calulated and denoted as q. Then an equivalent to the degree of polarization (m) is derived from q, as (1-q)/(1+q). The m factor ranges between 0 and 1. For low vegetation conditions, the co-pol backscatter will be high and the cross-pol backscatter is low (i.e., q->0). As a consequence, one can observe that, for bare field conditions m is high, and decreases gradually with an increase in vegetation canopy density.

Further, the beta (normalized co-pol intensity parameter) can be expressed as, beta = 1/(1+q). where 0.5<beta<1.
