RARSbRatio Analysis of Reflectance Spectra for Chlorophyll b

VegetationHyperspectralCitation Rank #84

Summary

The Ratio Analysis of Reflectance Spectra for Chlorophyll b (RARSb) is a vegetation spectral index intended for hyperspectral sensing. It was introduced in 1992; its source is cited as Emmett W Chappelle, Moon S Kim, & James E McMurtrey (1992). Ratio analysis of reflectance spectra (RARS): An algorithm for the remote estimation of the concentrations of chlorophyll A, chlorophyll B, and carotenoids in soybean leaves. Remote Sensing of Environment, 39(3). https://doi.org/10.1016/0034-4257(92)90089-3 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 73.8th percentile overall, ranking 84 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 22 indices published within two years of 1992, it ranks 15 (40.91th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 65.4th percentile and ranks 75 out of 211 indices with citation data. Among the 22 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 15 (40.91th percentile).
