O uso inadequado do solo pode levar a uma condi??o de degrada??o avan?ada, a qual ? denominada de processo de desertifica??o. No Brasil, existem v?rios N?cleos de Desertifica??o, dentre os quais o N?cleo de Desertifica??o do Serid? (RN-PB). Assim, o presente trabalho partiu da premissa de que o processo de desertifica??o na regi?o do Serid? Potiguar (RN), possivelmente, tem causado variabilidades na temperatura da superf?cie, no albedo e nos fluxos de energia e massa (evapotranspira??o/fra??o evaporativa). Para comprovar as mudan?as decorrentes deste processo foi realizada uma an?lise descritiva/comparativa entre dados de ?rea degradada e ?rea com Caatinga preservada (Esta??o Ecol?gica do Serid?-ESEC). Para tanto, utilizou-se de um algoritmo h?brido, o qual ? composto de parametriza??es de v?rios algoritmos tais como: o Surface Energy Balance Algorithms for Land/SEBAL, Simplified Surface Energy Balance/SSEB, Simplified Energy Balance Index/S-SEBI, e de imagens TM ? Landsat 5, das ?rbitas-ponto: 215/65, adquiridas gratuitamente junto ao INPE ? Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais ? sob a condi??o de c?u claro, para datas dos anos de 1990, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007. Comparando os resultados obtidos em ?rea degradada e vegetada, foi observado a exist?ncia de diferen?as entre os valores m?dios do albedo, saldo de radia??o e fra??o evaporativa. Esta diferen?a tamb?m foi comprovada de forma significativa por meio de teste estat?stico (teste t de student), o que corrobora a hip?tese de que o processo de desertifica??o derivado do mau uso do solo e das condi??es clim?ticas da regi?o est? causando altera??es nas vari?veis constituintes do balan?o de energia. / The change in soil cover causes changes in the energy balance and surface water balance. Inadequate soil use can lead to an advanced degradation condition, which is called a desertification process. In Brazil, there are several Desertification Nuclei, among which the Serid? Desertification Nucleus (RN-PB). Thus, the present work started from the premise that the desertification process in the Serid? Potiguar (RN) region has possibly caused variability in surface temperature, albedo, and energy and mass fluxes (evapotranspiration / evaporative fraction). To verify the changes resulting from this process, a descriptive / comparative analysis was carried out between degraded area data and preserved Caatinga area (Serid?-ESEC Ecological Station). For this, a hybrid algorithm was used, which is composed of parametrizations of several algorithms such as: Surface Energy Balance Algorithms for Land / SEBAL, Simplified Surface Energy Balance / SSEB, and S-SEBI, and Of images - Landsat 5, of orbits-point: 215/65, acquired free of charge from INPE - National Space Research Institute - under the condition of clear sky, for dates of 1990, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007. Comparing the results obtained in degraded and vegetated areas, it was observed the existence of differences between the average values of albedo, radiation balance and evaporative fraction. This difference was also significantly demonstrated by means of a statistical test (student's t test), which corroborates the hypothesis that the desertification process derived from the misuse of the soil and the climatic conditions of the region is causing changes in the constituent variables of the Energy balance.
