Abstract
The present contribution estimates the Surface Temperature (TS) during the 2001 period for South America (AS), for the estimate it used remote sensing date of monthly TS and annual products of land cover type to 0.050 of resolution, of the MODIS sensor on board the satellite TERRA and AQUA. The main cities that form the superficial urban heat island are Caracas, Bogotá, Lima, Santiago, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, producing the effect of increasing surface temperature in urban areas with respect to rural areas.
