BAIS2Burned Area Index for Sentinel 2

BurnMultispectralCitation Rank #216

Summary

The Burned Area Index for Sentinel 2 (BAIS2) is a burn spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2018; its source is cited as Federico Filipponi (2018). BAIS2: Burned Area Index for Sentinel-2. The 2nd International Electronic Conference on Remote Sensing. https://doi.org/10.3390/ecrs-2-05177 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 31.31th percentile overall, ranking 216 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 56 indices published within two years of 2018, it ranks 30 (48.21th percentile). Within the burn application domain, it is in the 64.71th percentile and ranks 7 out of 17 indices with citation data. Among the 2 similarly aged burn indices, it ranks 1 (100th percentile).
