Morphology

microclimatologist = climatologist (semi-transparent) = micro + climate + ologist

The meaning is straightforwardly built by adding micro- to climatologist, but the term is technical and depends on a specialized base word.

Etymology

Microclimatologist comes from three parts: micro- 'small', climate 'local weather or region', and -ologist 'one who studies', like in microphone and biologist. So a microclimatologist is someone who studies the weather and climate of very small, specific places.
