MuWIRRevised Multi-Spectral Water Index

WaterMultispectralCitation Rank #220

Summary

The Revised Multi-Spectral Water Index (MuWIR) is a water spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2018; its source is cited as Zifeng Wang, Junguo Liu, Jinbao Li, & David D. Zhang (2018). Multi-Spectral Water Index (MuWI): A Native 10-m Multi-Spectral Water Index for Accurate Water Mapping on Sentinel-2. Remote Sensing, 10(10). https://doi.org/10.3390/rs10101643 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 30.03th percentile overall, ranking 220 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 56 indices published within two years of 2018, it ranks 31 (46.43th percentile). Within the water application domain, it is in the 48.39th percentile and ranks 17 out of 31 indices with citation data. Among the 10 similarly aged water indices, it ranks 5 (60th percentile).
