| 英文摘要 | Here, we introduce the concept of outdoor days to describe how climate change can affect quality of life for different communities and individuals. An outdoor day is characterized by moderate temperature, neither too cold nor too hot, allowing most people to enjoy outdoor activities. The number of outdoor days is a nonlinear function of the daily surface air temperature. If the latter falls within a speci fi c range describing assumed thermal comfort conditions, then we assign that day as an outdoor day. Using this function, we describe climate change impacts on temperature differently, compared to other studies which often describe these impacts in terms of the linear averaging of daily surface air temperature. The introduction of this new concept offers another way for communicating how climate change may impact the quality of life for individuals who usually plan their outdoor activities based on how local weather conditions compare to their preferred levels of thermal comfort. Based on our analysis of regional variations in outdoor days, we present observational and modeling evidence of a north-south disparity in climate change impacts. Under high-emission scenarios, CMIP5 and CMIP6 models project fewer outdoor days for people living in developing countries, primarily located in low-latitude regions. Meanwhile, developed countries in mid- and high-latitude regions could gain more outdoor days, redistributed across seasons. |
