Summary
The Subtractive Coastal Water Index (SCoWI) is a water spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2024; its source is cited as Erwin W. J. Bergsma, Adrien N. Klotz, Stéphanie Artigues, Marcan Graffin, Anna Prenowitz, Jean-Marc Delvit, & Rafael Almar (2024). Shoreliner: A Sub-Pixel Coastal Waterline Extraction Pipeline for Multi-Spectral Satellite Optical Imagery. Remote Sensing, 16(15). https://doi.org/10.3390/rs16152795 .
Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 13.1th percentile overall, ranking 274 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 30 indices published within two years of 2024, it ranks 4 (90th percentile). Within the water application domain, it is in the 22.58th percentile and ranks 25 out of 31 indices with citation data. Among the 5 similarly aged water indices, it ranks 2 (80th percentile).
