Nr.	Name	General Formula
1	Global Vegetation Moisture Index	$\frac{(NIR + 0.1) - (SWIR + 0.02)}{(NIR + 0.1) + (SWIR + 0.02)}$
2	Normalized Difference 860/1240	$\frac{860nm - 1240nm}{860nm + 1240nm}$
3	Normalized Difference NIR/Red	$\frac{NIR - RED}{NIR + RED}$
4	Simple Ratio 970/900	$\frac{970nm}{900nm}$
