This document corresponds to the review of the variables that are obtained from remote sensing sensors that are important in the study and monitoring of climate change. Among the leading groups of climate change, there are some groups such as the Global Terrestrial Observing System (GTOS) which in its implementation plan has identified thirteen Essential Climate Variables (ECV) to be addressed through the groups of earth observation in the world. This paper presents a review of these variables obtained from remote sensing as part of the implementation strategy of remote sensing data for studying and monitoring global climate change.
