Summary
The Char Soil Index Thermal (CSIT) is a burn spectral index intended for multispectral and thermal sensing. It was introduced in 2007; its source is cited as A. M. S. Smith, N. A. Drake, M. J. Wooster, A. T. Hudak, Z. A. Holden, & C. J. Gibbons (2007). Production of Landsat ETM+ reference imagery of burned areas within Southern African savannahs: comparison of methods and application to MODIS. International Journal of Remote Sensing, 28(12). https://doi.org/10.1080/01431160600954704 .
Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 39.75th percentile overall, ranking 192 out of 317 indices with citation data.
