The coastal hills are home to many different microclimates.
Generally, the climate of small areas, especially insofar as this differs significantly from the general climate of the region Stands often create microclimates
Variations of the climate within a given area, usually influenced by hills, hollows, structures or proximity to bodies of water
Special conditions of light, moisture, and temperature that occur in a narrowly restricted area within an ecosystem, for example, under a bush or in a small woodland opening
Generally the climate of small areas, especially insofar as this differs significantly from the general climate of the region Stands often create microclimates
This is the climate that exists at your individual building site It involves local vegetation and tree coverage, wind and sun orientation, surrounding terrain features and surrounding buildings and noise generators In Santa Fe, depending on your site location there are a variety of different microclimates
the weather patterns in one small area, which are different from the weather patterns in the surrounding area. Climatic condition in a relatively small area, within a few feet above and below the Earth's surface and within canopies of vegetation. Microclimates are affected by such factors as temperature, humidity, wind and turbulence, dew, frost, heat balance, evaporation, the nature of the soil and vegetation, the local topography, latitude, elevation, and season. Weather and climate are sometimes influenced by microclimatic conditions, especially by variations in surface characteristics
the distinctive climate of a restricted geographic area as defined within the more encompassing climate of a region
the climate of a small area such as a cave, house, city or valley that may be different from that in the general region
1 Localized climate conditions within an urban area or neighborhood 2 The climate around a tree or shrub or a stand of trees
The local climate conditions, brought about by the modification of general climatic conditions by local differences in elevation and exposure The detailed climate of a very small area of the earth's surface Also, the localized climate conditions within an urban area or neighborhood ADVANCE \x 540
The localized climate in a specific, small area as opposed to the overall climate of the larger, surrounding region A microclimate can be very small, as to encompass a single vine, or cover a whole vineyard of several acres or more Microclimates can be caused by slope of the land, soil type and color, fog, exposure, wind and possibly many other factors
the local climate near the ground that is peculiar to a small area (usually, the radius is less than a kilometer, and can be as small as a centimeter) A microclimate region is defined by changes in behavior of the atmosphere's surface boundary layer and not by obvious physical features
Generally the climate of small areas, especially insofar as this differs significantly from thte general climate of the region Stands often create microclimates
The climate of a very small area For example, a single backyard can be considered a microclimate
A term of climate scale The climate within a small, defined area Can dramatically affect the character of the wine produced there
An area where climatic conditions differ from the norm It can be natural, such as a mountain valley, or constructed, such as a wind-protected deck
