MCARIOSAVIMCARI/OSAVI Ratio

VegetationMultispectralCitation Rank #26

Summary

The MCARI/OSAVI Ratio (MCARIOSAVI) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2000; its source is cited as C Daughtry (2000). Estimating Corn Leaf Chlorophyll Concentration from Leaf and Canopy Reflectance. Remote Sensing of Environment, 74(2). https://doi.org/10.1016/s0034-4257(00)00113-9 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 92.33th percentile overall, ranking 26 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 60 indices published within two years of 2000, it ranks 6 (93.33th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 90.05th percentile and ranks 23 out of 211 indices with citation data. Among the 51 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 6 (92.16th percentile).
