Abstract:

Based on the daily meteorological data including average temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and sunshine hours in Chongqing from the national meteorological sciences data center during 1980-2020, the climate comfort was calculated by adopting the temperature-humidity index and wind efficiency index.The spatial distribution characteristics of climate comfort and the suitable areas of the four types of health-preserving climate i.e.the all-season-mild, the summer resort, the winter hibernation, and the sunlight health-preserving in Chongqing area were analyzed using the Kriging interpolation method.Results indicate that the all-season-mild is concentrated in the northeastern and southeastern of Chongqing which are suitable for tourism, health care, and other health activities throughout the year.Chengkou has the most comfortable days in the year and is the most comfortable area in Chongqing.At the same time, the summer resort is focused on the southeast of Chongqing, such as Youyang, Xiushan, the south of Pengshui, and Qianjiang.Furthermore, most areas are suitable for hibernation except the southeastern of Chongqing.While the climate comfort level of sunlight recuperation shows the distribution of "high in the east and low in the west", that is, the suitable area of sunlight recuperation in the eastern area is more than in western Chongqing.

Key words: Temperature-humidity index, Wind efficiency index, Kriging interpolation method
