a,b, Normalized magnitude (that is, divided by the long-term mean river discharge \(\bar q\)) of the flood divide in the study dataset as a function of the hydrograph recession exponent (a) and the coefficient of variation of daily flows (b). Shaded areas span the 95% variability range of theoretical predictions and provide an estimate of their uncertainties. Grey markers display the median (squares), minimum and maximum values of the binning (horizontal bars), and 5th and 95th percentile range (vertical bars) of the observations (dots; equal number of n = 4 case studies for each bin), here used for validation.
