Summary
The Transformed Chlorophyll Absorption in Reflectance Index (TCARI) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2002; its source is cited as Driss Haboudane, John R. Miller, Nicolas Tremblay, Pablo J. Zarco-Tejada, & Louise Dextraze (2002). Integrated narrow-band vegetation indices for prediction of crop chlorophyll content for application to precision agriculture. Remote Sensing of Environment, 81(2-3). https://doi.org/10.1016/s0034-4257(02)00018-4 .
Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 88.82th percentile overall, ranking 36 out of 313 indices with citation data.
