0.42-0.50 μm: water body penetration, soil and vegetation discrimination, forest type mapping
0.52-0.60 μm: green reflectance peak of vegetation, vegetaion discrimination and plant vigour
0.63-0.69 μm: chlorophyll absorption, detecting roads, bare soils, vegetation types
0.76-0.90 μm: biomass, separation of water bodies from vegetation and discriminates soil moisture
1.55-1.75 μm: roads, bare soils, water, different types of vegetation, atmospheric and haze penetration
10.5-12.5 μm: thermal radiation, related to soil moisture and temperature of vegetation
2.08-2.35 μm: discriminating mineral and rock types, interpreting vegetation cover and soil moisture
