Abstract
A regional analysis was conducted regarding quantiles of the fundamental features of multiyear droughts, severity, magnitude and duration. Basin geomorphic and climatic characteristics were used as explanatory variables in multiple linear regression equations of the logarithmically transformed variables. Results of satisfactory accuracy were obtained, permitting their utilization in ungauged basins of the study area, which encompasses a significant part of the hydrologically important central and northern Greece. Finally, comparisons are made with a similar study in California and some observations advanced regarding the sensitivity of drought characteristics to climatic warming.
