A Comprehensive Evaluation Model for Local Summer Climate Suitability under Global Warming: A Case Study in Zhejiang Province
In the context of global warming, how to measure summer climate suitability at a local scale is important for meteorological services. Considering meteorological and ecological conditions, body comfort, and the atmospheric environment, an assessment method for summer climate suitability for Zhejiang Province is proposed. In this paper, a summer suitable index (SSI) for Zhejiang is calculated, including four secondary indices: a summer cool index (SCI), a comfort days index (CDI), a good air days index (GADI) and a vegetation cover index (VCI). Using a local evaluation criterion, summer climate suitable areas are distinguished objectively according to the SSI. The results show that especially suitable regions account for 4.97% of Zhejiang Province, very suitable regions account for 22.2%, suitable regions account for 39.58%, and general regions account for 33.25%. The summer climate suitable areas are located mainly in high mountains and hills and coastal island areas while plain areas cannot be considered a suitable destination for summer tourism. By comparison and discussion, the SSI is demonstrated to capture summer climate suitability well. In contrast to a fixed evaluation index, benchmark values obtained for the SSI depend on the local climate and the index is straightforward to apply.

[Spatiotemporal variations of vegetation cover in Zhejiang Province and their relations to eco-climatic indices].
This paper studied the spatiotemporal variations of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) in Zhejiang Province in 1982-2006, and their relations to the dominant eco-climatic factors in the Province. In the study period, the vegetation cover in the Province had a slowly decreasing trend, and the area with a significant decrease of NDVI occupied 30.71% of the total. There were significant relationships between the eco-climatic indices and the NDVI of the following year. The NDVI was significantly positively correlated with biological aridity/humidity index, and significantly negatively correlated with biological warmth index, suggesting that the increase of humidity could promote vegetation growth, while excessive heat could inhibit the vegetation growth in the study area.
