Microclimatology
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-007312
The study of atmospheric conditions and climate within a very small, localized area, such as a forest canopy, a single field, or an urban street canyon. It examines how factors like topography, vegetation, and surface characteristics influence temperature, humidity, wind, and radiation at a fine scale. This field often involves measurements taken close to the ground.
