abstract = "Forest clearing and subsequent burning of the downed biomass are
parts of the occupation process in the Amazon region. This causes
a clear impact on the, environment, including effects on the
weather and the climate. Thus, campaigns with controlled burnings
wereeftected in clearings of virgin {"}Terra Firme{"} Amazonian
Forest in the Alta Floresta, MT region of Brazil (Fazenda Caiabi),
to assess the combustion process and some of its consequences.
These clearings were cut, allowed to dry and then burnt using the
local traditional method.This work presents the evolution of
components of the energy balance (net radiation and soil heat
flux) plus albedo measured continuously (DOY 150 to 330) in the
200 x 200 m2 site centered at 9°57'42.20{"} S and 56°20'52.05{"}
W. The site was downed on May 26, 1999 (DOY 146), after 15 days of
work, and its burning was eftected on August 24, 1999 (DOY 236),
starting at 11 :35 LST.",
