Summary
The Visible Atmospherically Resistant Index (VARI) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2002; its source is cited as Anatoly A. Gitelson, Yoram J. Kaufman, Robert Stark, & Don Rundquist (2002). Novel algorithms for remote estimation of vegetation fraction. Remote Sensing of Environment, 80(1). https://doi.org/10.1016/s0034-4257(01)00289-9 .
Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 91.37th percentile overall, ranking 28 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 49 indices published within two years of 2002, it ranks 14 (73.47th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 88.63th percentile and ranks 25 out of 211 indices with citation data. Among the 41 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 13 (70.73th percentile).
