• Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI): JNCC Sentinel-2 indices Analysis Ready Data (ARD)

  NDVI is a widely used index which quantifies vegetation greenness and can provide an indication of vegetation health and vegetation density. It is calculated as the ratio between the near-infrared...

• Normalised Difference Moisture Index (NDMI): JNCC Sentinel-2 indices Analysis Ready Data (ARD)

  NDMI can be used to assess vegetation moisture content, and is calculated as the ratio between the near-infrared (NIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) bands. It is commonly used to assess water...

• Normalised Burn Ratio (NBR): JNCC Sentinel-2 indices Analysis Ready Data (ARD)

  NBR enables identification of burned areas and can also provide an indication of burn severity. It is calculated as the ratio between the near-infrared (NIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) bands,...

• Normalised Difference Water Index (NDWI): JNCC Sentinel-2 indices Analysis Ready Data (ARD)

  NDWI is used to identify water bodies and detect changes in their extent. It is calculated as the ratio of the green and near-infrared (NIR) bands. Positive index values generally indicate the...

• Enhanced Vegetation Index 2 (EVI2): JNCC Sentinel-2 indices Analysis Ready Data (ARD)

  EVI2 (Jiang et al., 2008) is computed using the near-infrared (NIR) and red bands. While the majority of EVI2 data falls within the range of -1 to +1, some values may exceed +1. These are...
