Understanding the climate variability is a topic of great scientific interest because it can affect the environmental and socio-economic conditions of a country. This work makes use of satellite data to assess the rainfall events that occurred in Colombia during La Niña 2010-2011 and recorded in the Caribbean coastal weather stations. Data from brightness temperature of clouds measured by the Geostationary Operational Envirormental Satellite (GOES -12), sea surface temperature (SST) data derived from monthly images of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and in situ rainfall data, from two coastal weather stations (Cartagena and Santa Marta) was used. GOES images allowed describing La Niña event 2010-2011 due to the identification of high clouds and mesoscale convective complexes (MCC), which are related to high rainfall; meanwhile MODIS images showed an opposite oceanic behavior between the Colombian Caribbean, that exhibited positive anomalies and the Eastern Tropical Pacific, which experienced the influence of this event and reflected in negative anomalies. Linear models using SST satellite data, in situ rainfall and Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), revealed that only in the weather station located in Rodadero (Santa Marta), the rainfall was explained by SST in the adjacent sea; meanwhile the SOI was not.
