Are there suitable spectral equations to determine soil salinity using Sentinel data?
Best Regards

I believe one issue I noticed, which I am unsure if it is the same issue Mr. Doe had, is Band 9 (SWIR), which is listed in the ESA Sentinel-2 User Handbook as 945 nm instead of the 940 nm you have listed in the table.

What’s incorrect about it?

Actually came in clutch this one

Why did they equip the satellite with 6 spectral bands, even though 2 spectral bands would be sufficient to calculate NDVI?

Please take a look at out our spectral signature cheatsheet for more information – Spectral Signature Cheatsheet – Spectral Bands in Remote Sensing
