(a) Map of the Brazilian Legal Amazon (BLA) states and cumulative deforestation as a percentage of each 0.50\({}^{\circ }\) pixel from May 2004 to July 2016 from INPE’s DETER data set. State names are as follows: AC - Acre, AM - Amazonas, RO - Rond\({\hat{o}}\)nia, RR - Roraima, MT - Mato Grosso, PA - Pará, AP - Amapá, TO - Tocantins and MA - Maranhão. (b) Map of average fire count on a 0.25\(^{\circ }\) pixel grid from August 2001 to July 2016. (c) Map of average burned area from August 2001 to July 2016 as a percentage of each 0.25\(^{\circ }\) pixel. (d) Map of Aerosol Optical Depth on a 0.50\(^{\circ }\) pixel grid from August 2001 to July 2016. Fire count, burned area and aerosol optical depth is averaged over the main biomass burning months (August-October).
