Proposed Outline

Lead/Overview

Definition of microclimate (general scientific term)

A more comprehensive description than the existing, eliminating some of the adjacent topics referenced in the current article. Also the existing image should be replaced for something more recognizably aligned with the concept of microclimates.

Scales of climate

Macroclimate, mesoclimate, microclimate definition

Causes of microclimates

Briefly describe what is meant by causes in scientific terms. (the existing sources and influences on microclimate section will be reworked into this new section)

Direct physical causes of microclimates linked to weather and climate processes, such as:

  • wind (or obstruction of wind)
  • solar shading
  • heat transfer/storage
  • reflectivity
  • emissivity
  • humidity
  • evaporation

The contributing factors which shape and modify the processes, many of which can be driven from human created influences:

  • topography
  • land and water masses
  • soil composite makeup
  • vegetation structure
  • plant species diversity
  • human made structures such as buildings and roads

How to measure microclimates

This is an optional but nice to have explanation. The intent is it would build further on the earlier concepts then briefly explain best practices established for measurement of the related variables.

Importance of microclimates

  • agriculture and microclimate engineering
  • climate change
  • reforestation efforts
  • understanding energy demands
