A new method for describing the inundation status of floodplain wetland

The inundation state is one of the main factors affecting the development of river floodplain wetlands, and the water inundate frequency (WIF) is a commonly used characterisation tool. This study combines remote sensing data with ground hydrological observation data to propose the water inundate gua...
