Japanese: 乾湿度指数 - かんしつどしすう
Humidity index - Humidity index

… Because plants use water from the soil, the humidity and dryness related to plant distribution is reflected in the soil moisture state and is governed by the amount of precipitation and evaporation from the soil. Since the amount of evaporation is largely determined by temperature, the humidity and dryness index is expressed as the relationship between the annual precipitation and the annual average temperature, and one of the most well-known is the Köppen index ( K ). This index takes into account the change in the efficiency of rain due to differences in seasonal temperature, and is calculated by taking the relationship between the annual precipitation ( P mm) and the annual average temperature ( T °C) as K = P / 2T for the winter rain type, K = P /2( T +14) for the summer rain type, and K = P /2( T +7) for the year-round heavy rain type. …

*Some of the terms that refer to the "dryness index" are listed below.

Japanese:

… 植物は土壌から水を利用するので,植物の分布に関係する乾湿度は土壌の水分状態に反映され,降水量と土壌からの蒸発量によって支配されている。蒸発量は大きくは温度によって決まるので,年降水量と年平均気温との関係で乾湿度指数は表され,有名な一つにケッペンW.P.Köppenの指数(K)がある。この指数は,季節の気温の違いによる雨の効率の変化を考慮して,年降水量(Pmm)と年平均気温(T℃)の関係を,冬雨型ではKP/2T,夏雨型ではKP/2(T+14),通年多雨型ではKP/2(T+7)として求めたものである。…
