Humid zone

Japanese: 湿潤帯 - しつじゅんたい（英語表記）humid zone

This refers to a hemispheric or continental expanse with a humid climate. It is the opposite of arid zone, and the boundary between the two is called the dry limit. WP Köppen defined a climate with enough rainfall for tree growth as a humid climate, and a climate with insufficient rainfall for trees to grow as an arid climate, and calculated the boundary between the two as the dry limit by comparing annual precipitation and average annual temperature. Another method is to calculate it by comparing precipitation and evaporation. Humid Climate [Yamashita Shuji]

湿潤な気候をもった半球的または大陸的な広がりをいう。乾燥帯に対する言葉で，両者の限界を乾燥限界という。W.P.ケッペンは樹木の生長に十分な雨量をもつ気候を湿潤気候，雨量が不足し，樹木が生長しえない気候を乾燥気候とよび，両者の境界を乾燥限界と定義し，年降水量と年平均気温の比較から算出した。また，降水量と蒸発量の比較から求める方法もある。湿潤気候【山下脩二】
