BAIMBurned Area Index adapted to MODIS

BurnMultispectralCitation Rank #270

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 14.06th percentile overall, ranking 270 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 49 indices published within two years of 2006, it ranks 48 (4.08th percentile). Within the burn application domain, it is in the 11.76th percentile and ranks 16 out of 17 indices with citation data. Among the 9 similarly aged burn indices, it ranks 9 (11.11th percentile).
