             abstract = "Biomass burning is a common human activity in much of the 
                         developing tropical world where it has wide-ranging environmental 
                         impacts. Fire, a large component of tropical deforestation, is 
                         often used to clear broad expanses of land for shifting 
                         agriculture and cattle ranching. Frequent burning in the tropical 
                         savannas creates problems distinct from those of burning in the 
                         primary forest. In Brazil, much of the burning occurs in the 
                         Cerrado, which occupies approximately 1.800.000 km2, primarily on 
                         the great plateau in Central Brazil. Wildland and agricultural 
                         fires are sources of regional air pollution in Central Brazil, and 
                         release a large number of trace gases, including greenhouse and 
                         other chemically active species. Knowledge of trace gas emissions 
                         from biomass burning in Brasil, however, is limited by a number of 
                         factors, most notably lack of relative emission factors for gases 
                         from specific fire types/fuels and accurate estimates of temporal 
                         and spatial distribution and extent of fire activity. We present 
                         estimates of trace gas emissions during September 1992 that 
                         incorporate a digital map of vegetation classes, pyrogenic 
                         emission factors calculated from ground and aircraft missions, and

                         derived from Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR)data. 
                         The regional emissions calculated from AVHRR estimates of fire 
                         activity provide an independent estimate for future comparison
