To ensure a consistent dataset, Landsat 7 has not been used because the Scan Line Correct (SLC) failure creates gaps into the data. NDWI quantifies plant water content by measuring the difference between Near-Infrared (NIR) and Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) (or Green) channels using this generic formula: (NIR - SWIR) / (NIR + SWIR) For Landsat sensors, this corresponds to the following bands: Landsat 5, NDVI = (Band 4 – Band 2) / (Band 4 + Band 2). Landsat 8, NDVI = (Band 5 – Band 3) / (Band 5 + Band 3). NDWI values ranges from -1 to +1. NDWI is a good proxy for plant water stress and therefore useful for drought monitoring and early warning. NDWI is sometimes alos refered as Normalized Difference Moisture Index (NDMI) Standard Deviation is also provided for each time step.
