Thornthwaite's 1948 [[climatic classification]], any [[climate]] type in which the seasonal [[water surplus]] does not counteract seasonal water deficiency; thus it has a [[moisture index]] of less than zero.</div><br/> <div class="paragraph">These types include the [[dry subhumid]], [[semiarid]], and [[arid climates]]. In contrast are the [[moist climates]]. The dry climates are subdivided further according to values of [[humidity index]] into the following: little or no water surplus; moderate winter water surplus; moderate summer water surplus; large winter water surplus; large summer water surplus.</div><br/> </div><div class="reference">Köppen, W.
