Hydrological drought severity explained by climate and catchment characteristics
A.F. van Loon,Gregor Laaha +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive Austrian dataset consisting of 44 catchments with long time series of hydrometeorological data (on average around 50 years) and information on a large number of physiographic catchment characteristics was used for predicting and the selection of drought sensitive regions.

Monica Ionita,Lena M. Tallaksen,Daniel G. Kingston,James H. Stagge,Gregor Laaha,Henny A. J. Van Lanen,Patrick Scholz,Silvia Chelcea,Klaus Haslinger +8 more
TL;DR: The summer of 2015 was characterized by exceptionally high temperatures in many parts of central and eastern Europe, with daily maximum temperatures 2'0°C higher than the seasonal mean (1971-2000) over most of western Europe, and more than 3'0ÕC higher in the east as mentioned in this paper.

Stagge,Anne Van Loon +31 more
TL;DR: In 2015, a long-lasting drought hit Europe, particularly affecting central and eastern Europe as discussed by the authors, and it is generally accepted that drought is one of the most costly weather-related natural hazards.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the hydrological footprint (dynamic development over space and time) of the drought of 2015 in terms of both severity (magnitude) and spatial extent and compare it to the extreme drought of 2003.
Exploring the link between meteorological drought and streamflow: Effects of climate-catchment interaction
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed a detailed regional analysis of the link between meteorological drought indices and streamflow for a comprehensive Austrian data set of 47 small to medium-size catchments in humid-temperate climate.
