Water & Soil Indices

MNDWI

Modified Normalized Difference Water Index. An enhancement of NDWI that uses the shortwave infrared (SWIR) band instead of NIR, providing better discrimination between water bodies and built-up areas in urban environments.

Formula

MNDWI = (Green - SWIR) / (Green + SWIR)
