Abstract This paper reviews and illustrates the advantages of the use of NOAA‐AVHRR data for vegetation mapping and monitoring in the Amazon Basin. The data are considered under two main categories: data of low spatial but high temporal resolution and long time period availability, and data of a higher spatial resolution but more limited temporal availability. A review of the use of the former type of data reveals that this has been relatively successful in generalised classifications of broad land cover categories in the Amazon Basin. However these generalised classifications have in the past attempted to replicate as closely as possible, broad classes represented on continental or global scale maps. By doing so they have overlooked the important inter‐ and intra‐annual information on vegetation vigour and seasonality within Amazon forest areas that may be discerned with careful analysis of the data. The widespread use of the full spatial resolution NOAA‐AVHRR imagery for large scale deforestation mappin...
