Sensitivity of young water fractions to hydro-climatic forcing and landscape properties across 22 Swiss catchments

<p>The young water fraction <i>F</i><sub>yw</sub>, defined as the proportion of catchment outflow younger than approximately 2–3 months, can be estimated directly from the amplitudes of seasonal cycles of stable water isotopes in precipitation and streamflow. Thus, &...
