             abstract = "The Atlantic Rainforest has been intensely devastated since the 
                         beginning of the colonization of Brazil, mainly due to wood 
                         extraction and urban and rural settlement. Although the Atlantic 
                         Rainforest has been reduced and fragmented, its remnants are 
                         important sources of heat and water vapor to the atmosphere. The 
                         present study aimed to characterize and to analyze the temporal 
                         dynamics of precipitation and evapotranspiration in the Atlantic 
                         Rainforest remnants in S{\~a}o Paulo state, southeastern Brazil, 
                         for the period from January 2000 to December 2010. To achieve 
                         this, global precipitation and evapotranspiration data from TRMM 
                         satellite and MOD16 algorithm as well as forest remnant maps 
                         produced by SOS Mata Atl{\^a}ntica Foundation and Brazilian 
                         National Institute for Space Research (INPE) were used. Results 
                         found in this study demonstrated that the use of remote sensing 
                         was an important tool for analyzing hydrological variables in 
                         Atlantic Rainforest remnants, which can contribute to better 
                         understand the interaction between tropical forests and the 
                         atmosphere, and for generating input data necessary for surface
