Table 1. Summary of potential flooding indicators, their general formula, matched with MODIS band formula and their values.

Indicator General Formula MODIS Band Formula Value range
NIR [33,34] - b01 Superior to 0
NDVI [35] NDVI = NIRRNIR+R (b01-b02)/(b01+b02) Between -1 and 1
EVI [36] EVI = 2.5NIR+RNIR+6R7.5B+1 2.5((b01+b02)/(b01+6b02-7.5b03+1)) Between -1 and 1
NDWI [37] NDWI = GNIRG+NIR (b04-b01)/(b04+b01) Between -1 and 1
NDII [38] NDII = NIRMIRNIR+MIR (b01-b06)/(b01+b06) Between -1 and 1
MNDWI [39,40] MNDWI = GMIRG+MIR (b04-b06)/(b04+b06) Between -1 and 1

Note: NIR = Near Infrared Red, NDVI = Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, EVI = Enhanced Vegetation Index, NDWI = Normalized Difference Water Index, NDII = Normalized Difference Infrared Index, MNDWI = Modified Normalized Difference Vegetation Index.
