Received 28 December 2009; revised 3 June 2010; accepted 11 June 2010; published 10 November 2010. [1] Spaceborne instruments provide a unique view of global vegetation fire activity many times a day. In this study, we assessed the fire characterization information provided by two major products: the Terra and Aqua MODIS Thermal Anomalies product (MOD14 and MYD14, respectively) and the Wildfire Automated Biomass Burning Algorithm (WF_ABBA) product derived from GOES East Imager. Using higher…

This study used same-day 30-m spatial resolution Landsat-7/ETM+ and Terra/ASTER data to study the short-term development of active fires in the Brazilian Amazon between the overpasses of the two satellites, finding spuriously increased detection probabilities using ETM+ resulting from the observed increase of fire activity between the ETM + ASTER acquisitions.
