    A hydrological regionalization of the Western Black Sea hydrological basin of Turkey is developed based on a multivariate analysis of precipitation records of the 18 (out of 40) meteorological stations from the periods 1929-2004. A regionalization of annual data is carried out using PCA. Precipitation series from 18 gauging stations were chosen to characterize climatic differences in the basin. The PCA indicated that there are 6 climatic regions in the basin. © by PSP Volume 18-No 5a. 2009
