Global distribution of the trend in observed flood timing during 1970–2010 with latitude average flooding date (gray line; for display purposes the magnitude of the flood date is scaled by a factor of 0.01) and trend in flood timing (blue line) (a). Boxplots b-f demonstrate the relations between the trend in flood timing and mean flood date in the northern hemisphere (NH) (b) and southern hemisphere (SH) (c), latitude (d), outlet elevation (e) and catchment area (f). The interquartile range, equaling the difference between the 25th and 75th percentiles, is used to characterize variability for each bin. The red lines represent a loess-curve fitted to the values. The station density was also displayed in subplot (b–f). Subplot (g) shows the multiple linear regression analysis between flood timing trend with flood mean date, latitude, elevation and area.
