Description

This pull request adds the Normalized Difference Gamma-Radiation Index (NDGRI), a Sentinel-2 spectral index developed for screening areas associated with elevated gamma radiation in arid and semi-arid environments.

NDGRI is calculated from Sentinel-2 B04 and B12:

NDGRI = (B04 - B12) / (B04 + B12)

The contribution includes:

  • Sentinel-2 Evalscript visualization of NDGRI classes
  • Documentation of the method, interpretation, acquisition conditions, and limitations
  • Four Copernicus Browser examples covering the Naarst and Zuunbayan test areas and the Erdene and Khuvsgul validation areas
  • An entry in the Sentinel-2 custom scripts index

The script has been tested in Copernicus Browser using the Sentinel-2 Level-2A scenes used in the published study.
