Summary
The Cloud Shadow Detection Index (CLOSDI) is a clouds spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2026; its source is cited as Adrián Cal (2026). CLOSDI: A novel spectral index for cloud shadow detection in Sentinel-2 imagery using NDVI and EVI2. Remote Sensing Applications: Society and Environment, 42. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rsase.2026.101990 .
Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 1.92th percentile overall, ranking 308 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 19 indices published within two years of 2026, it ranks 14 (31.58th percentile). Within the clouds application domain, it is in the 14.29th percentile and ranks 7 out of 7 indices with citation data. Among the 1 similarly aged clouds index, it ranks 1 (100th percentile).
