abstract = "The State of Maranh{\~a}o presents high fire activities, which
cause loss of biodiversity, socio-economic negative impacts and
contributes with greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere.
Despite its relevance in terms of high fire activity in the
context of the Amazon, very few studies have looked at this state
into detail. This scientific initiation study aims to evaluate the
temporal characteristics of hot spots over the Maranh{\~a}o
state, covering the period 2002 to 2013. MODIS data derived from
Terra and Aqua satellites (product MCD14ML), filtered for 80%
confidence level were used. Rainfall derived from Tropical
Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite was also used in order
to evaluate the relationships between fire dynamics and rainfall.
Interestingly, our study showed that AQUA satellite detects a
higher number of hot pixels than Terra satellite, probably due to
its afternoon overpass. Secondly, fire activity starts in June and
ends only in January, with September the month of highest number
of detections. Anomalous hot year (2007) and anomalous dry year
(2010) were the years when fire activity peaked in Maranh{\~a}o.
It is observed that there is an exponential relationship between
fire and rainfall, when the latter in lower than 100 mm. The next
phase of this study is to evaluate the spatial patterns of fire
activity and the evaluation of spatial agreement between Terra and
Aqua satellites data.",
