The 9 pages that link to Aridity index, each with the reason it gives.

• Arid climateBroader topic: This index turns the climate’s precipitation deficit into a measurable quantity.

• Potential evapotranspirationRelated: PET often supplies the demand term used to classify climate dryness.

• Desert climateRelated: It provides a quantitative way to classify desert conditions.

• Semi-arid climateRelated: It quantifies the balance that distinguishes semi-arid climates from wetter and drier climates.

• AridificationRelated: It provides a common way to quantify changing climatic dryness.

• Wladimir KöppenCompared with: Aridity indices can represent moisture stress more directly than Köppen’s categorical thresholds.

• DrylandsRelated: Its precipitation-to-demand ratio distinguishes dryland climate zones.

• Desert (geography)Related: It offers a quantitative way to classify drylands, including deserts.

• Mikhail BudykoRelated: Budyko developed a widely used framework relating long-term water balance to aridity.
