La microclimatologie s'intéresse au climat des zones limitées mais aussi aux phénomènes qui s'y produisent, en particulier aux niveaux de pollution observés dans différents endroits (zones urbaines, sites naturels, vallées, etc.). Un microclimat peut être considéré à l'échelle des organismes, par exemple sous une pierre. On parle alors d'«écoclimat» ou d'«ultramicro-climat». 2, record 1, French, - microclimatologie
