VegetationMultispectralCitation Rank #19

Summary

The Chlorophyll Index Red Edge (CIRE) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2003; its source is cited as Anatoly A. Gitelson, Yuri Gritz †, & Mark N. Merzlyak (2003). Relationships between leaf chlorophyll content and spectral reflectance and algorithms for non-destructive chlorophyll assessment in higher plant leaves. Journal of Plant Physiology, 160(3). https://doi.org/10.1078/0176-1617-00887 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 94.57th percentile overall, ranking 19 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 59 indices published within two years of 2003, it ranks 7 (91.53th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 93.36th percentile and ranks 16 out of 211 indices with citation data. Among the 46 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 6 (91.3th percentile).
