Figure 3: Runoff from a dynamic model, showing slow response (SRC) and fast response (FRC) components

Textural description of figure

The figure graphs the discharge as a function of time, for a typical case of runoff from a dynamic model. As well as the total flow it shows the slow response and fast response components of this flow. The slow response component builds to a single peak, but the fast response component has multiple smaller peaks over time so that the total flow has multiple smaller maxima around the main peak.
