abstract = "A large number of blowdowns occurred in Amazonia in mid-January of
2005 when a squall line traversed 4.5 million km2 of forest,
propagating from SW to NE. This paper describes the spatial
distribution of forest damage across Amazonia for that event,
considering disturbance patches > ~3 ha in size. Damage was found
to be highly concentrated near Manaus, not widespread.
Nonetheless, blowdowns attributed to this single squall line
contributed over half of all annual blowdown area detected in 30
samples across Amazonia for that year. Leaving a single Landsat
scene out of the sample would cause a large difference in the
estimate of total damage. Methods: In Landsat images, blowdowns
associated with the January 2005 squall line exhibit a distinct
geometry. They are either diffuse or have SW to NE directed
lineaments. Thirty sample polygons were allocated across the
Amazon region, each containing 15,000 km2 of continuous forest.
These were visually inspected at 1:80,000 scale in Landsat TM RGB
images (bands 5-4-3) from the 2005 dry season. All blowdown
footprints <~1y old and >~3 ha were recognized by spectral pattern
and geometry. After linear spectral unmixing with CLASLite, the
disturbed pixels were identified within each blowdown by a
threshold of the pure vegetation fraction (<85%) then summed
within each 15,000 km2 sample. The percent of forest damaged and
attributed to this single squall line was then interpolated
between the 30 sample centroids.",
