MSIMoisture Stress Index

VegetationMultispectralCitation Rank #51

Summary

The Moisture Stress Index (MSI) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 1989; its source is cited as E HUNTJR, & B ROCK (1989). Detection of changes in leaf water content using Near- and Middle-Infrared reflectances☆. Remote Sensing of Environment, 30(1). https://doi.org/10.1016/0034-4257(89)90046-1 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 84.23th percentile overall, ranking 51 out of 317 indices with citation data. Among the 10 indices published within two years of 1989, it ranks 3 (80th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 78.87th percentile and ranks 46 out of 213 indices with citation data. Among the 10 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 3 (80th percentile).
