| AWEInsh Algorithm Specification | ![]() |
The AWEInsh operator algorithm computes the
Automated Water
Extraction Index from a given
product.
The AWEInsh results from the following equation:
AWEInsh = 4.0 * (G - S1) - 0.25 * N + 2.75 * S2
, where:
The bands are:
- G is the Green band
- N is the NIR band
- S1 is the SWIR 1 band
- S2 is the SWIR 2 band
Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'aweinsh_flags' with the following bit coding:
| Bit Position | Description |
|---|---|
| Bit 0 | The computed value for AWEInsh is NAN or is Infinite |
| Bit 1 | The computed value for AWEInsh is less than -1 (minus one) |
| Bit 2 | The computed value for AWEInsh is greater than 1 (one) |
