Summary
The Normalized Difference Ice-Snow Index (NDISI) is a snow spectral index intended for hyperspectral sensing. It was introduced in 2022; its source is cited as Wenzheng Ji, Xiaohua Hao, Donghang Shao, Qian Yang, Jian Wang, Hongyi Li, & Guanghui Huang (2022). A New Index for Snow/Ice/IceāSnow Discrimination Based on BRDF Characteristic Observation Data. Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 127(3). https://doi.org/10.1029/2021jd035742 .
Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 6.71th percentile overall, ranking 294 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 50 indices published within two years of 2022, it ranks 42 (20th percentile). Within the snow application domain, it is in the 20th percentile and ranks 10 out of 10 indices with citation data. Among the 3 similarly aged snow indices, it ranks 3 (66.67th percentile).
