                         Fire Risk (FR) product for the Island of Cuba in the Caribean was 
                         analyzed, comparing interpolated precipitation values from the 
                         SYNOP network with TRMM/NASA satellite radar estimates. The FR is 
                         calculated mainly from the precipitation history over the previous 
                         120 days regarding the date of interest; relative humidity and air 
                         temperature, and fires detected, are also used in the empirical FR 
                         equations. The limited density of surface weather stations in Cuba 
                         and its neighborhood, as well as the lack of regular SYNOP data, 
                         fostered the alternative use of TRMM. The performance of the two 
                         FR methods was obtained from the occurrence of vegetation fires in 
                         FR intensity classes; the vegetation fires used were those 
                         detected in GOES-12, Terra and Acqua satellite images, analyzed in 
                         grid cells of 5km x 5km. The inclusion of TRMM estimates provided 
                         better results than in the former FR version, with a skill of 95% 
                         or better, against 85% or lower for interpolated weather station 
                         data. Following the improved results, the new TRMM method for the 
                         Cuba fire risk products was operationally adopted at CPTEC. Other 
                         analyses applying T213-GCM numeric forecasts for future Fire Risk 
                         will also be implemented.",
