Sensor: Sentinel-2

Provider: ESA

Bands Used: 3

Description

MCARI/OSAVI750 is a vegetation index that combines the Modified Chlorophyll Absorption Ratio Index with the Optimized Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index using red-edge bands. It is specifically designed to estimate chlorophyll content using the 750nm band instead of traditional NIR bands.
