Exploring the Code editor

An exercise for beginners

Step 1: open the code editor by going to https://code.earthengine.google.com/

Step 2: import the sentinel 2 image collection by following the steps below:

Tip!: you can also use the line below to import your sentinel 2 image collection

var sentinel2 = ee.ImageCollection("COPERNICUS/S2");

Step 3: import your administrative area:

var bnd_cambodia = ee.FeatureCollection("projects/servir-mekong/referenceData/cam_adm");

Tip! use the functions: .filterDate() .filterBounds() .sort() .mosaic() .clip()

Step 5: use the .normalizedDifference([“band1”,”band2”) function to calculate the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI). Replace the “band1” and “band2” with the relevant bands:
