Microclimate of the Satino teaching and research field station MSU

The article provides an overview of the results of studying the microclimate of the Satino research station, typical behavior and distribution of the most important meteorological variables depending on the diverse combinations of conditions and characteristics of relief, vegetation and other landscape components. There are considered the principal existing approaches of microclimate investigation, implemented at the Satino research station, in particular, for the students’ field training, as well as methods of surface layer study, including the application of automatic measurement complexes. It is proposed to introduce and develop a novel modern instrumental base and new research activities based on an integrated approach. Computer modeling of microand mesoscale meteorological processes is the most important area of research development, because it allows considering the complete information about landscape components obtained as a result of complex observations of faculty’s departments at the Satino research station. The examples include observations on the heat and moisture exchange processes and the greenhouse gas fluxes within several contrasting locations, taking into account data about phytocenosis, soil type and relief on different scales. In addition, high-resolution regional climate modeling could be a consolidating method of the geographical and environmental sciences aimed to understand and predict environment state and, in particular, the climate system. The results of climate modeling could be used for a wide variety of landscape components assessment, largely determined by climatic resources, in particular, under the climate change.
