Microclimate and Local Climate
This book provides an up-to-date, comprehensive treatment of microclimate and local climate. It describes and explains the climate within the lower atmosphere and upper soil, the region critical to life on Earth. It is invaluable for advanced students and researchers in climatology, environmental science, geography, meteorology, agricultural science, and forestry.
Microclimate, Vegetation & Fauna
In Microclimate, Vegetation & Fauna the ecologist meets the meteorologist: it is about the biological aspects of microclimate and its variation in horizontal and vertical directions. The great diversity found in the various habitats is stressed, also as far as the microclimate is concerned.The stronghold of this book on microclimatology or the ‘minor weather’ in the immediate surroundings of plants and animals is its capacity to unravel the causal relationships between climate, topography, soils, vegetation and fauna. The manifold interactions in between are explained in detail and it is concluded that the connections are so intimate that each species has its own microclimate. This book is unique and interesting for a wide audience. It specifically targets natural scientists and students in biology with an interest in climatology and climatologists with an interest in biology.
Microclimate
An up-to-date and much enlarged edition of this text on the microclimate, emphasizing its effect on plants, animals, and humans. Provides a basis for understanding environmental biophysics, then covers the prediction, manipulation, and management of the climate near the ground.
Urban Microclimate
The quality of life of millions of people living in cities could be improved if the form of the city were to evolve in a manner appropriate to its climatic context. Climatically responsive urban design is vital to any notion of sustainability: it enables individual buildings to make use of renewable energy sources for passive heating and cooling, it enhances pedestrian comfort and activity in outdoor spaces, and it may even encourage city dwellers to moderate their dependence on private vehicles. Urban Microclimate bridges the gap between climatology research and applied urban design. It provides architects and urban design professionals with an understanding of how the structure of the buil...

Microclimatology of a Subarctic Spruce Forest and a Clearing at Big Delta, Alaska
This analysis deals with the microclimatology of two greatly contrasting sites at Fort Greely, Big Delta, Alaska; one in a coniferous forest (Taiga) and the other in an adjacent clearing. Continuous measurements of the vertical distribution of temperature and wind, and the measurements of solar radiation, precipitation, and globe thermometer temperatures, supplemented by the usual visual and manual observations and measurements, such as sky cover, clouds, snow depth, etc., were conducted from June 1956 through September 1957. An analysis of the data for two months, June 1956 (summer) and December 1956 (winter) is presented. (Author).
