In order to improve the accuracy of regional crop yield estimation based on data assimilation, this study proposed a novel EnSRF assimilation algorithm based on a variable time window and four-dimensional extension (VW-4DEnSRF) and constructed a new crop yield estimation system based on crop growth model and VW-4DEnSRF algorithm. This study conducted the quantitative simulation and yield estimation of regional winter wheat, which proved the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm of the large-area crop yield simulation. The proposal of the new assimilation algorithm provides a new feasible method for large-area crop yield estimation, which is of great significance for ensuring national food security.
