Aggregation in environmental systems – Part 2: Catchment mean transit times and young water fractions under hydrologic nonstationarity

Methods for estimating mean transit times from chemical or isotopic tracers (such as Cl<sup>−</sup>, <i>δ</i><sup>18</sup>O, or <i>δ</i><sup>2</sup>H) commonly assume that catchments are stationary (i.e., time-invariant) and homogeneous....
