%X Middle infrared (MIR) surface reflectance is sensitive to changes in vegetation cover but is not affected by the presence of most aerosols. This characteristic makes of MIR an especially adequate spectral band for burned area identification over regions affected by the presence of heavy smoke layers due to the biomass burning. However use of the MIR region brings up the difficult problem of distinguishing, in a single measurement, between a diversity of radiance sources, namely the thermal emission and the solar reflection from the atmosphere and the surface. The aim of the present study is to assess the potential of MIR to identify burned scars over tropical environments. Special attention will be devoted to the method proposed by Kaufman and Remer (1994) whose performance will be compared against results obtained by inverting the general radiative transfer equation.
