Researches of local climate prerailig over a slope orchard were very important both for the fundamental projects of an orchard and for the adequate managements of their environmental conditions.
We have, therefore, made temperture and wind measurements on the 38 stations over the whole area of Atagawa orchard of our University during several days of summer and winter for these two years.
Temperature distribution diagrams for morning, noon and evening have shown their characteristic patterns by weather which were shown in the figures and in the tables.
Windroses of daily prevailent wind by day and night at four stations in our orchrd were drawn in Figure 6 which have depictured remarkable features of surrounding surface conditons.
As the results of our measurements, we connot afford to overlook the functions of windbreak for the control of local climate in our orchard.
