From experience we know that weather and climate change from place to place even in a small area. The local phenomena of weather and climate are apt to be thought of as “special phenomena” in a restricted area, because of their local nature. When the synoptic meteorological situation and the topographical conditions are similar, however, similar phenomena occur in any place and in any season. This book is a completely revised and enlarged edition of my earlier work entitled Shokiko (Microclimate), which was written in Japanese in 1961. Here the emphasis is largely on the following points: (1) analysis of the horizontal structures of the phenomena; (2) comparison of as many examples as possible; (3) introduction to the synoptic climatological method; and finally, (4) arriving at general rules. In short, it may be said that the methodology here is not very physical in the description.
