Some of the remote sensing satellites provide their users free of charge with raw data in the form of multiple bands. Using the remote sensing analysis of GISLayer, we have obtained the following results for the agricultural lands in Lake Sugla and its surroundings.

The satellite image used is produced by LANDSAT-8 and the band information is as follows.

Sugla Lake Natural Color Analysis

Red : Band 4
Green : Band 3
Blue : Band 2

Sugla Lake Color Infrared Analysis

NIR : Band 5
Red : Band 4
Green : Band 3

Sugla Lake False Color Analysis

SWIR 2.19 : Band 7
SWIR 1.61 : Band 6
Red : Band 4

Sugla Lake Agriculture Analysis

SWIR 1.61 : Band 6
NIR : Band 5
Blue : Band 2

Sugla Lake Vegetation Index NDVI Analysis

NIR : Band 5
Red : Band 4

Calculating : (NIR-Red)/(Red+Red)

Sugla Lake Moisture Index Analysis

NIR : Band 5
SWIR 1.61 : Band 6

Calculating : (NIR-SWIR 1.61)/(NIR+SWIR 1.61)

Sugla Lake Geology Analysis

SWIR 2.19 : Band 7
Red : Band 4
Blue : Band 3
