A climate that appears in a small area such as a valley, slope, cultivated land, etc. A pair of macroclimates, mesoclimates, and microclimates. Its extent is 10 to 10 ⁴ m, and its vertical extent is about 10(-/) ¹ to 10 ³ m. Temperature distribution, local winds, cold air currents, frost, fog, snowfall, etc. are investigated using a detailed observation network, and they are of interest in relation to the environmental conditions of crops and insects, and the effects of windbreaks and snowbreaks. The main climatic factors are small-scale topography, land surface conditions, short-term heat exchange with the outside world, and local wind circulation.
