Summary
The Normalized Difference Snow Index with no Water (NDSInw) is a snow spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2020; its source is cited as Dajiang Yan, Chang Huang, Ning Ma, & Yinsheng Zhang (2020). Improved Landsat-Based Water and Snow Indices for Extracting Lake and Snow Cover/Glacier in the Tibetan Plateau. Water, 12(5). https://doi.org/10.3390/w12051339 .
Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 16.93th percentile overall, ranking 261 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 73 indices published within two years of 2020, it ranks 51 (31.51th percentile). Within the snow application domain, it is in the 50th percentile and ranks 6 out of 10 indices with citation data. Among the 4 similarly aged snow indices, it ranks 1 (100th percentile).
