BAIMBurned Area Index adapted to MODIS

BurnMultispectralCitation Rank #271

Summary

The Burned Area Index adapted to MODIS (BAIM) is a burn spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2006; its source is cited as M. Pilar Martín, Israel Gómez, & Emilio Chuvieco (2006). Burnt Area Index (BAIM) for burned area discrimination at regional scale using MODIS data. Forest Ecology and Management, 234. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foreco.2006.08.248 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 14.83th percentile overall, ranking 271 out of 317 indices with citation data. Among the 50 indices published within two years of 2006, it ranks 48 (6th percentile). Within the burn application domain, it is in the 16.67th percentile and ranks 16 out of 18 indices with citation data. Among the 10 similarly aged burn indices, it ranks 9 (20th percentile).
