Summary

The Normalized Burn Ratio Plus (NBRplus) is a burn spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2022; its source is cited as Emanuele Alcaras, Domenica Costantino, Francesca Guastaferro, Claudio Parente, & Massimiliano Pepe (2022). Normalized Burn Ratio Plus (NBR+): A New Index for Sentinel-2 Imagery. Remote Sensing, 14(7). https://doi.org/10.3390/rs14071727 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 32.91th percentile overall, ranking 211 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 50 indices published within two years of 2022, it ranks 15 (72nd percentile). Within the burn application domain, it is in the 70.59th percentile and ranks 6 out of 17 indices with citation data. Among the 2 similarly aged burn indices, it ranks 1 (100th percentile).
