NMDINormalized Multi-band Drought Index

VegetationMultispectralCitation Rank #126

Summary

The Normalized Multi-band Drought Index (NMDI) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2007; its source is cited as Lingli Wang, & John J. Qu (2007). NMDI: A normalized multi‐band drought index for monitoring soil and vegetation moisture with satellite remote sensing. Geophysical Research Letters, 34(20). https://doi.org/10.1029/2007gl031021 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 60.06th percentile overall, ranking 126 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 40 indices published within two years of 2007, it ranks 13 (70th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 46.92th percentile and ranks 113 out of 211 indices with citation data. Among the 23 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 8 (69.57th percentile).
