Summary
The Normalized Burn Ratio Thermal 1 (NBRT1) is a burn spectral index intended for multispectral and thermal sensing. It was introduced in 2005; its source is cited as Z. A. Holden, A. M. S. Smith, P. Morgan, M. G. Rollins, & P. E. Gessler (2005). Evaluation of novel thermally enhanced spectral indices for mapping fire perimeters and comparisons with fire atlas data. International Journal of Remote Sensing, 26(21). https://doi.org/10.1080/01431160500239008 .
Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 30.91th percentile overall, ranking 220 out of 317 indices with citation data. Among the 47 indices published within two years of 2005, it ranks 38 (21.28th percentile). Within the burn application domain, it is in the 61.11th percentile and ranks 8 out of 18 indices with citation data. Among the 11 similarly aged burn indices, it ranks 5 (63.64th percentile).
