Climate elasticity of streamflow revisited – an elasticity index based on long-term hydrometeorological records

We present a new method to derive the empirical (i.e., data-based) elasticity of streamflow to precipitation and potential evaporation. This method, which uses long-term hydrometeorological records, is tested on a set of 519 French catchments. <br><br> We compare a total of five dif...
