Summary: | A microclimate is a local atmospheric zone where the climate differs from its surrounding area. This may refer to areas as small as a few square meters like a garden bed or as large as many square meters like the De La Salle University campus in Taft Avenue, Metro Manila.This paper presents the different microclimates that can be found in the DLSU campus. Various data readings such as air temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, and barometric pressure, are taken at six (6)different areas. Also, GPS position coordinates are recorded at every location. Using MyWorld GIS, the data are mapped showing the various data readings. |
