ABSTRACT: The present work investigates an analysis of Eco-Tourism Climate
Resources in Xingwen, China based on the
Comfort Index and Negative Air (Oxygen) Ion (“NAI” for short in this article) concentration.
The daily temperature, precipitation, wind speed, sunshine hours, and relative
humidity data of the Xingwen National Meteorological Station from 1999 to 2018,
as well as the NAI data of Feiwu Cave station and Shoushan Lake station in
Xingwen of 2018 were used in this study. Based on the analysis of the characteristics
of basic meteorological elements, the index of climate comfort of human living
environment and the NAI variation in Xingwen, the eco-tourism climate resources
in this area were evaluated comprehensively. The results show that: The climate
is mild, the precipitation is abundant and the seasonal variation trend of
precipitation and heat is similar in the study area. The annual average
temperature of this area is 17.8°C, the annual average precipitation is 1096
mm, the annual average precipitation days are 186 days, the annual average
relative humidity is 81%, the annual average wind speed is 1.3 m/s, and the
annual average sunshine hours are 999 h. The living environment comfort
level reaches the “comfort” level for 6 months per year. In addition, the concentration
of NAI in Xingwen remains at the highest level 7 throughout the year, and the
rate of good air quality is extremely high. Overall, the study area has
high-quality ecological climate resources that are conducive to the development
of forest recuperation, leisure and vacation and other ecological tourism
activities.
