*data products*

## Specifications
- **level**: L3
- **distributor**: inpe
- **access endpoint**: https://terrabrasilis.dpi.inpe.br/downloads/
- **access model**: open
- **primary data portal url**: https://terrabrasilis.dpi.inpe.br/downloads/
- **use cases**: ["Near-real-time deforestation alert triggering IBAMA enforcement in the Amazon and Cerrado","Monitoring deforestation hotspots before annual PRODES confirmation cycle","Brazil REDD+ safeguards and EUDR supply-chain alert monitoring","Complementary rapid-detection layer alongside PRODES annual benchmark"]
- **practical limitations**: ["Alert product only, not authoritative area estimates (use PRODES for confirmed annual figures)","CBERS-4 sensor chain confirmed; specific camera (WFI vs MUX) and exact spatial resolution unverified at tier 1","Minimum mapping unit (about 1 hectare) widely cited but not confirmed from tier 1 INPE methodology in this research pass","Pantanal and Amazon non-forest coverage (from November 2023) is experimental and subject to adjustment","Temporal cadence (alert batch frequency) sensor-revisit constrained; specific cadence not confirmed at tier 1"]
- **known artefacts**: ["DETER-A and DETER-B used different sensor chains (MODIS + CBERS-2B WFI versus CBERS-4); some legacy literature mislabels CBERS-2B's WFI as \"AWiFS\", which is actually an Indian IRS-P6 instrument family, not a CBERS sensor"]
