NDWI--a normalized difference water index for remote sensing of vegetation liquid water from space.
TL;DR: The normalized difference water index (NDWI) as discussed by the authors was proposed for remote sensing of vegetation liquid water from space, which is defined as (ϱ(0.86 μm) − ϱ(1.24 μm)) where ϱ represents the radiance in reflectance units.

A high-resolution data set of surface climate over global land areas
TL;DR: In this paper, the construction of a 10' latitude/longitude data set of mean monthly sur-face climate over global land areas, excluding Antarctica, was described, which includes 8 climate conditions: precipitation, wet-day frequency, temperature, diurnal temperature range, relative humid-ity, sunshine duration, ground frost frequency and windspeed.

The interpretation of spectral vegetation indexes
TL;DR: In this article, the spectral derivative of surface reflectance with respect to wavelength is used as a measure of chlorophyll abundance and energy absorption in the leaves of a broadband and near-infrared vegetation index.
