Abstract:
Based on MODIS remote sensing data, Land Surface Temperature (LST) and Normalized Vegetation Moisture Index (NDMI) were retrieved from the Tropic of Cancer in Yunnan Province; and by combining meteorological interpolation data, the Moisture Temperature-humidity Index (MTHI), Wind Chill Index
mod (WCI
mod), Wind Effect Index
mod (WEI
mod) and Comprehensive Comfort Index
mod (CCI
mod) was reconstructed into a new Body-Healthy Comfort of Index (BHCI), which will be used to analyze and evaluate the climate comfort degree of tourism of 2018 in the study area. The results show that: ① MTHI, WCI
mod, WEI
mod and CCI
mod can better reflect the climate comfort, indicating that the study area is comfortable for a long time, with fairly short cold and hot periods. ② BHCI has similar spatial and temporal distributions with MTHI and WEI
mod, which can clearly reflect the impacts of climate change on human health. ③ The study area is in a comfortable period from March to November, corresponding to spring, summer and autumn, which are suitable for long-term travels. In December, January and February, however, the study area is in a less comfortable period, so people can choose short-term travels.
