Warmth index

Japanese: 暖かさの指数(英語表記)warmth index
Warmth index
Months with a monthly average temperature of 5°C or above are considered to be the period in which plants can grow, and this value is calculated by subtracting 5°C from the monthly average temperature. It was devised by Kawakita Jiro to make up for the shortcomings of the Köppen climate classification*. Some books refer to it as the warmth index*, but this may be based on a different calculation method. Conversely, for months with a monthly average temperature of 5°C or below, subtracting 5°C in the same way results in a negative value, but this is called the coldness index*. This was proposed by Kira Tatsuo.

月平均気温が5℃ 以上の月を植物の生育可能期間と考え,月平均気温から5℃ を引いた値を積算したもの.川喜田二郎によって,ケッペンの気候分類*の不備を補うべく考案されたものである.温量指数*と記してある成書もあるが,これは別の計算法によるものの可能性もある.逆に月平均気温5℃ 以下の月の場合は,同じように5℃ を引くとマイナスとなるが,こちらは,寒さの指数*という.こちらは吉良龍夫の提案になる.
