CLIMATOLOGICAL DIVISION
Spatial Scale of Climatology: It’s goal in the orderly arrangement and
explanation of spatial patterns. It includes the identification of significant
climate characteristics and the classification of climate types, thus providing a
link between the physical bases of climate and the investigation of problems in
applied climatology.
Microclimatology: Microclimatologic all studies often measure smallscale
contrasts, such as between hilltop and valley or between city and
surrounding country. For example, microclimate (topoclimate) is related to
the climate of a site e.g. a climate station or the climate of a locality e.g. a
valley or hillside.
Mesoclimatology: Mesoclimatology embraces a rather indistinct middle
ground between macroclimatology and microclimatology. For example,
mesoclimate is related to the climate of a region e.g. southern Oregon.
Macroclimatology: Macroclimatology is the study of the large-scale
climate of a large area or country. For example, macroclimate is related to
the climate of a large area e.g. a continent or the climate of the planet.
