Exploring the Effects of Hillslope-Channel Link Dynamics and Excess Rainfall Properties on the Scaling Structure of Peak-Discharge

We use the rainfall-runoff model CUENCAS and apply it to three different river basins in Iowa to investigate how the interplay among rainfall intensity, duration, hillslope overland flow velocity, channel flow velocity, and the drainage network structure affects these parameters.
