La faiblesse de la pluviosité ne suffit pas à caractériser l'aridité d'un climat, ou d'une région; il faut y associer d'autres facteurs climatologiques comme le rayonnement, la température, le vent et l'humidité de l'air. Pour caractériser le niveau d'aridité on peut citer les indices suivants : L'indice d'aridité de Martonne [...] Le facteur d'humidité (ou facteur pluvial) de Lang [...] L'indice d'aridité de C.W. Thornthwaite [...] Le coefficient d'aridité de Gorczynski [...] L'indice d'aridité de Dubief [...] L'indice climatique de potentialité agricole de Turc [...] 2, record 1, French, - aridit%C3%A9
