abstract = "Brazil contributes as a source of greenhouse gases, aerosols and
trace gases to the atmosphere, in particular, due to the
continuous conversion of vegetation to pasture and agriculture
land using fire practices. Although the Brazil presents huge
numbers of fire events, there is a lack of studies in order to
analyze the agreement among currently available burned area
products, both in terms of extent and location of the areas burnt
over this region. This issue is of particular interest since the
accuracy of burned area maps is related to the uncertainties in
the quantification of atmospheric biomass burning emissions.
Accordingly, we present and analyze the results of three currently
burned area (BA) products derived from MODIS data, namely AQM
(INPE), MCD45A1 (NASA) and MCD64A1 (NASA). The procedure is
applied to quantify the overall temporal and spatial distribution
patterns of burned areas in Brazil for the period 2005 2010 and
obtained patterns are compared for each Brazilian biome and
related to the respective patterns of fire pixels derived from
remote sensing. Results show there is a reasonable spatial
agreement in the location of burned areas among the three
products. However, there is a major disagreement in area extent.
The AQM product presents substantially higher estimates of BA than
the NASA products, being on average 5.8 and 4.4 times larger than
MCD64A1 and MCD45A1, respectively. In general, AQM presents values
much close to active fires than the NASA/MODIS BA products.",
