NBRNormalized Burn Ratio

BurnMultispectralCitation Rank #304

Summary

The Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR) is a burn spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2002; its source is cited as J.L. Coffelt, & Russell K. Livingston (2002). Second U.S. Geological Survey Wildland Fire Workshop: Los Alamos, New Mexico, October 31-November 3, 2000. Open-File Report. https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr0211 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 3.51th percentile overall, ranking 304 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 49 indices published within two years of 2002, it ranks 49 (2.04th percentile). Within the burn application domain, it is in the 5.88th percentile and ranks 17 out of 17 indices with citation data. Among the 3 similarly aged burn indices, it ranks 3 (33.33th percentile).
