An Algorithm for Burned Area Detection in the Brazilian Cerrado Using 4 µm MODIS Imagery

The Brazilian Cerrado is significantly affected by anthropic fires every year, which makes the region an important source of pyrogenic emissions. This study aims at generating improved 1 km monthly burned area maps for Cerrado based on remote-sensed information. The algorithm relies on a burn-sensit...
