Pour les applications opérationnelles il paraît illusoire de chercher à définir un critère numérique unique ayant une signification universelle. Par contre, si l'on se limite aux incidences des circonstances atmosphériques sur une catégorie particulière d'activités humaines, il est possible de combiner certains éléments climatiques de façon significative. Sur le plan agricole on peut citer, par exemple : - l'indice héliothermique de Geslin [...] - l'évapotranspiration potentielle [...] - le bilan potentiel ou déficit théorique, [...] Ce critère peut servir d'indicateur du déficit d'approvisionnement en eau de la végétation. 2, record 3, French, - d%C3%A9ficit%20th%C3%A9orique

Pour la planification régionale encore, en culture irriguée (et a fortiori en culture pluviale), dans le cadre de la région agroclimatique, et à un certain niveau de la recherche, la connaissance du déficit théorique pourra constituer une approximation suffisante, à l'échelle des temps mensuelle par exemple. C'est à ce niveau que Darves-Bornoz, [et al.] ont situé leurs travaux d'évaluation des besoins annuels, mensuels et mensuels de pointe en eau d'irrigation à partir de l'analyse fréquentielle des données climatiques, sur la base des évapotranspirations potentielles estimées par la formule de TURC. 3, record 3, French, - d%C3%A9ficit%20th%C3%A9orique
