The temperature humidity index (THI) was proposed by J.E. Oliver in 1973. Its physical meaning is the temperature after humidity correction. It considers the comprehensive impact of temperature and relative humidity on human comfort. It is an important index to measure regional climate comfort. On the basis of referring to the existing classification standards of physiological and climatic evaluation indexes, combined with the natural and geographical characteristics of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau and facing the needs of human settlements suitability evaluation in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, the temperature and humidity index and its suitability zoning results of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau (more than 3000 meters) are developed (including unsuitable, critical suitable, general suitable, relatively suitable and highly suitable).

File naming and required software

THI_ TPBoundary_ 3000.tif, the grid data is the temperature and humidity index product of Qinghai Tibet Plateau;
THI_ TPBoundary_ 3000_ Fq1104.tif, the grid data is the climate suitability evaluation result of Qinghai Tibet Plateau Based on temperature and humidity index.
For the convenience of users, we provide data products corresponding to areas above 3000 meters above sea level. TPBoundary_ 3000 vector data comes from the national Qinghai Tibet Plateau science data center.
