To evaluate the moisture conditions of Taiwan Province,four indices are used:aridity index Eo/r,precipitation excess r-Eo,evaporation ratio E/Eo and evaporation difference Eo-E,where Eo is the potential evaporation,r the precipitation and E the actual evaporation.The monthly and annual values of the potential and actural evaporation of 22 stations in Taiwan are calculated by using revised Penman and Turc formulae,respectively.Based on the analysis of the spatial and temporal distribution of the four indices,seven moisture regions in Taiwan are delimitated:The Northeast Perhumid Zone(A1),The East-Middle Perhumid Zone(A2),The Mountainous Perhumid Zone(A3),The West Humid Zone(B1),The Southwest Humid Zone(B2),The Southeast Humid Zone(B3) and The Penghu Semiarid Zone(C).
