This work proposes an automatic methodology with new water indexes to detect the coastline from different multispectral Landsat images; the methodology is applied to three Spanish deltas in the Mediterranean Sea. The new water indexes use surface reflectance rather than top-of-atmosphere reflectance from blue and shortwave infrared (SWIR 2) Landsat bands. A total of 621 sets of images were analyzed from three different Landsat sensors with a moderate spatial resolution of 30 m. Our proposal, which was compared to the most commonly used water indexes, showed outstanding performance in automatic detection of the coastline in 96% of the data analyzed, which also reached the minimum value of bias of     \u2212 0.91     m and a standard deviation ranging from \u00b14.7 and \u00b17.29 m in some cases in contrast to the existing values. Bicubic interpolation was evaluated for a simple sub-pixel analysis to assess its capability in improving the accuracy of coastline extraction. Our methodology represents a step forward in automatic coastline detection that can be applied to micro-tidal coastal sites with different land covers using many multi-sensor satellite images.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs11182186","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,20]],"date-time":"2019-09-20T02:51:11Z","timestamp":1568947871000},"page":"2186","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["Automatic Methodology to Detect the Coastline from Landsat Images with a New Water Index Assessed on Three Different Spanish Mediterranean Deltas"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9541-0015","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sandra","family":"Via\u00f1a-Borja","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Fluid Dynamics Research Group, Andalusian Institute for Earth System Research, University of Granada, 52005 Granada, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1388-6870","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miguel","family":"Ortega-S\u00e1nchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Fluid Dynamics Research Group, Andalusian Institute for Earth System Research, University of Granada, 52005 Granada, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3291","DOI":"10.5194\/nhess-13-3291-2013","article-title":"Coastal vulnerability assessment of Puducherry coast, India, using the analytical hierarchical process","volume":"13","author":"Mani","year":"2013","journal-title":"Nat.
