Summary
The Automated Water Extraction Index (AWEInsh) is a water spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2014; its source is cited as Gudina L. Feyisa, Henrik Meilby, Rasmus Fensholt, & Simon R. Proud (2014). Automated Water Extraction Index: A new technique for surface water mapping using Landsat imagery. Remote Sensing of Environment, 140. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2013.08.029 .
Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 90.1th percentile overall, ranking 32 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 28 indices published within two years of 2014, it ranks 1 (100th percentile). Within the water application domain, it is in the 93.55th percentile and ranks 3 out of 31 indices with citation data. Among the 7 similarly aged water indices, it ranks 1 (100th percentile).
