             abstract = "Brazil is the country with the highest number of fires in South 
                         America, in which fire is mainly used as a tool to pests control, 
                         to open field agricultural removaland and to land use and land 
                         cover changes (LULCC). The active fire detection by remote sensing 
                         has been widely used to study the occurrence of fires in global 
                         scale, for the identification of their spatio-temporal 
                         distribution, and also for the estimation of biomass burned. This 
                         work aims to compare the fire radiative power (FRP) products 
                         derived from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) 
                         and Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) sensor for 
                         the Brazilian Amazon and Cerrado from May 11 to September 15, 
                         2016. The MODIS and VIIRS sensors pass through the equator at the 
                         same time having a similarity between the active fire spatial 
                         distribution estimated by the products. For Amazon and Cerrado 
                         biomes the VIIRS sensor has detected a greater number of active 
                         fires and this can be attributed the 750 meters spatial resolution 
                         and the greater capacity to detect smaller fires. However, the 
                         largest number of active fire for both sensors is between 0 and 
                         200 MW and the difference between the VIIRS and MODIS sensors to 
                         detect active fires with FRP greater than 200 MW indicates that 
                         VIIRS is efficient in the detection of small fires that release 
                         less energy. Estimates made by both sensors indicated that 
                         Amazonia was the biome that presented the largest number of 
                         fires.",
