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 visant à exprimer l'action combinée du rayonnement solaire et de la température sur la végétation. 1, record 2, French, - indice%20h%C3%A9liothermique%20de%20Geslin
