The Burn Area Index (BAI) is generated from the Red and
Near-IR bands, and measures the spectral distance of each pixel from a
reference spectral point (the measured reflectance of charcoal). This
index is intended to emphasize the charcoal signal in post-fire
images. See
Chuvieco et al. (2002)
for details. This product is generated from the MODIS/MYD09GA surface reflectance composites.
