MLSWI27Modified Land Surface Water Index (MODIS Bands 2 and 7)

WaterMultispectralCitation Rank #257

Summary

The Modified Land Surface Water Index (MODIS Bands 2 and 7) (MLSWI27) is a water spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2015; its source is cited as Youngjoo Kwak, Bhuyan Arifuzzanman, & Yoichi Iwami (2015). Prompt Proxy Mapping of Flood Damaged Rice Fields Using MODIS-Derived Indices. Remote Sensing, 7(12). https://doi.org/10.3390/rs71215805 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 19.56th percentile overall, ranking 257 out of 317 indices with citation data. Among the 25 indices published within two years of 2015, it ranks 22 (20th percentile). Within the water application domain, it is in the 40.62th percentile and ranks 21 out of 32 indices with citation data. Among the 6 similarly aged water indices, it ranks 5 (50th percentile).
