CLEAR-REF: Reproducibility Package for Reference-Dependent Interpretation of Clear-Sky Sampling Contrasts in Landsat-Based Agricultural Water-State Inference

This repository contains the reproducibility package for the manuscript:

"Reference-dependent interpretation of clear-sky sampling contrasts in Landsat-based agricultural water-state inference."

The package provides analysis code, derived data products, metadata, and supporting materials required to reproduce the reported analyses of clear-sky observation contrasts under multiple environmental reference representations.

The study evaluates Landsat-based agricultural water-state inference using three complementary reference representations: modeled soil water, atmospheric demand, and station-based soil wetness. Observation-state uncertainty is explicitly retained and propagated without imputation or missing-at-random assumptions.

The repository includes processing scripts, derived analysis tables, metadata descriptions, and figure-generation resources. Original third-party datasets (including Landsat, NLDAS, gridMET, and USCRN source products) are not redistributed where restricted by provider policies; corresponding sources and retrieval information are documented in the metadata.

This repository supports reproducibility and transparency of the associated manuscript and does not represent a replacement for the original data providers.
