Algorithm description: MCARI (Modified Chlorophyll Absorption in Reflectance Index) is calculated from the reflectance in bands 3,4 and 5 of MSI sensor:

MCARI\quad =\quad (({ R }_{ Band5 }\quad -\quad { R }_{ Band4 })\quad -\quad 0.2\quad ({ R }_{ Band5 }\quad -\quad { R }_{ Band3 }))\quad ({ R }_{ Band5 }/{ R }_{ Band4 })

 

and the Chlorophyll Index is calculated as

Chlorophyll\quad Red-Edge\quad =\quad { \left[ \frac { { R }_{ Band7 } }{ { R }_{ Band5 } } \right] }^{ -1 }
