Summary
The Gitelson and Merzlyak Index 2 (GM2) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 1996; its source is cited as Anatoly A. Gitelson, & Mark N. Merzlyak (1996). Signature Analysis of Leaf Reflectance Spectra: Algorithm Development for Remote Sensing of Chlorophyll. Journal of Plant Physiology, 148(3-4). https://doi.org/10.1016/s0176-1617(96)80284-7 .
Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 74.76th percentile overall, ranking 81 out of 313 indices with citation data.
