O presente trabalho tem por objetivo avaliar se alterações promovidas pela substituição da vegetação primária (floresta) por pastagem, afetam o balanço de radiação e podem ser detectadas por imagens geradas pelo sensor MODIS a bordo do satélite Terra. Para tanto, foi utilizada a metodologia convencionalmente denominada SEBAL, para o cômputo do saldo de radiação instantâneo e de suas componentes, visando à precisão das estimativas através da validação dos resultados a partir dos dados obtidos de duas torres experimentais, situadas na área de floresta e pastagem. Os coeficientes de determinação (R2) encontrados, 0,81 (floresta) e 0,71 (pastagem) na estimativa do saldo de radiação, demonstram a confiabilidade da técnica empregada, a qual proporciona destacar padrões que diferenciam as respectivas coberturas do solo e concluir que a substituição da vegetação nativa por pastagem aumenta o albedo da superfície, além de diminuir o saldo de radiação o que pode impactar o clima das áreas referentes a tal substituição. A B S T R A C T The present study aims to evaluate whether changes introduced by replacing the primary vegetation (forest) by grazing, affect the net radiation and if it can be detected by images generated by MODIS sensor aboard of the Terra satellite. For this, was used the conventionally methodology called SEBAL, for calculating the instantaneous net radiation and its components, in order to estimate the precision through the validation of the results based on data obtained from two experimental towers, located in forest and pasture areas. The coefficients of determination (R2) found, 0.81 (forest) and 0.71 (pasture) in the estimation of net radiation, demonstrating the reliability of the technique, which provides emphasize patterns that differentiate the respective ground covers and to conclude that the replacement of native vegetation by grazing increases the surface albedo, and reduce the net radiation which can impact the climate of the areas relating to such replacement.
