SnowMultispectralCitation Rank #252

Summary

The Normalized Difference Snow Index (NDSI) is a snow spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. Its source is cited as G.A. Riggs, D.K. Hall, & V.V. Salomonson (n.d.). A snow index for the Landsat Thematic Mapper and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer. Proceedings of IGARSS '94 - 1994 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 4. https://doi.org/10.1109/igarss.1994.399618 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 19.81th percentile overall, ranking 252 out of 313 indices with citation data. Within the snow application domain, it is in the 60th percentile and ranks 5 out of 10 indices with citation data.
