It is\nderived from the Near-IR band and a second IR band, ≈1.24μm when\navailable and the nearest available IR band otherwise. It ranges in\nvalue from -1.0 to 1.0. See\n[Gao (1996)](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0034425796000673)\nfor details. This product is generated from the MODIS/006/MOD09GA surface reflectance composites.\n\n### Bands\n\n**Bands**\n\n| Name | Pixel Size | Description |\n|--------|----------------|-----------------------------------|\n| `NDWI` | 463.313 meters | Normalized Difference Water Index |\n\n### Terms of Use\n\n**Terms of Use**\n\nMODIS data and products acquired through the LP DAAC have no restrictions on subsequent use, sale, or redistribution.\n\n### Explore with Earth Engine\n\n| **Important:** Earth Engine is a platform for petabyte-scale scientific analysis and visualization of geospatial datasets, both for public benefit and for business and government users.
