                         biogeochemical cycle, by the chemical reaction that occurs in the 
                         combustion process, the organic compounds present in vegetation 
                         returns to the atmosphere and soil in a cyclical behavior. It is 
                         estimated that the first fires occurred at the end of the Silurian 
                         period about 405 million years, mainly caused by lightning and 
                         spontaneous combustion. In Brazil, temporal and spatial 
                         variability in land-use and land-cover due to agricultural land 
                         clearing, grassland management and deforestation of the Amazon 
                         tropical rainforest leads to variations in anthropogenic biomass 
                         burning. This issue affects the environment, altering the 
                         atmospheric and surface radiation balance, besides the 
                         hydrological cycles. Therefore, the main objective of this work is 
                         to develop a method to estimate the instantaneous fire size to 
                         Brazil through Thematic Mapper (TM) aboard of Landsat 5 and 
                         Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) aboard of Landsat 7. To 
                         create the Brazilian fire size climatology, 79 path/row Landsat 
                         scenes were randomly sampled by biome and fire Radiative power 
                         distribution. The results indicate that average fire size in 
                         grasslands and pasture has 10.000m² and reaches a maximum of 
                         30.000m². Also, forested areas and herbaceous/shrubby vegetation 
                         presented fire size of 4000m² and 7500m², respectively.",
