dc.description.abstractLand surface temperature (LST) is one of the most important variables in the physical processes of surface energy and water balance. The temporal behavior of LST was analyzed between the latitudes 32 degrees 00 ' S and 34 degrees 24 ' S (Valpara & iacute;so and Metropolitana regions of Chile) for three summer months (December, January, and February) in the 2000-2017 period, using the Terra MODIS image information and applying the Mann-Kendall test. The results show an increase in LST in the study area, particularly in the Andes mountain range in January (5240 km2), which mainly comprises areas devoid of vegetation and eternal snow and glaciers, and are zones that act as water reserves for the capital city of Santiago. Similarly, vegetated areas such as forests, grasslands, and shrublands also show increasing trends in LST but over smaller surfaces. Because this study is regional, it is recommended to improve the spatial and temporal resolutions of the images to obtain conclusions on more local scales.
