Space: Desert Planets

GURPS Space doesn't really seem to allow for desert planets as rolled up "by the rules". The planetary generation system was written according to cutting edge science when it was written in the mid-200x's, but science marches on.

Here's a reference ( http://arxiv.org/abs/1304.3714v3 ) that I admit I didn't read all that much because I'm not a scientist, but what I got out of it is that we can have our Tattoines and Arakkises!

My question is, should we still call these Whatever-size (Greenhouse), or do they get a new (Desert) tag?
