The distribution of three kinds of thermal indices, KIRA's warmth index (WI) and coldness index (CI) and Thornthwaite's potential evapotranspiration (PE), over the Korean Peninsula was examined based on the temperature observation records at 148 stations. The continentality of climate was evaluated in terms of the sum of WI and-CI. The value of PE was found to be almost linearly correlated with that of WI, and hence the two indices were not much different in their indicator value. Detailed distribution maps of WI and CI were prepared, and their close correspondence with the vegetation map was suggested.
