Summary
The Normalized Difference Glacier Index (NDGlaI) is a snow spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2009; its source is cited as A. K. Keshri, A. Shukla, & R. P. Gupta (2009). ASTER ratio indices for supraglacial terrain mapping. International Journal of Remote Sensing, 30(2). https://doi.org/10.1080/01431160802385459 .
Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 30.03th percentile overall, ranking 224 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 37 indices published within two years of 2009, it ranks 29 (24.32th percentile). Within the snow application domain, it is in the 80th percentile and ranks 3 out of 10 indices with citation data. Among the 2 similarly aged snow indices, it ranks 1 (100th percentile).
