Microclimate - Microclimate

Japanese: 微気候 - びきこう

The climate of a small area such as the edge of a field, a rice paddy, in front of or behind a forest, on the slope of a hill, or inside a room. Used for macroclimates, mesoclimates, and microclimates. The horizontal extent is about 1cm to 100m, and the vertical extent is about 1cm to 2m. The main climatic factors are the state of the earth's surface (differences in land objects and vegetation cover, etc.) and the short-term exchange of heat with the outside world. While microclimate deals with atmospheric phenomena over a certain time span, it is called micrometeorology when dealing with phenomena at a certain point in time.

Japanese:

畑のあぜ，水田，林の前後，丘の斜面，あるいは室内など狭い範囲の気候。大気候，中気候，小気候に対して用いる。水平の広がりは1cm〜100m，垂直の広がりは1cm〜2mくらい。おもな気候因子は地表面の状態（地物や植物被覆などの差）や，外界との短周期の熱の授受。微気候が大気現象をある時間的な幅を考えて取り扱うのに対し，ある時点についての現象を取り扱う場合は微気象という。
