Short summary

The objective of the paper is to highlight the seasonal and singular shift of the transfer time distributions of two catchments (≅10 km²). Based on 2 years of rainfall and discharge observations, we compare variations in the properties of TTDs with the physiographic characteristics of catchment areas and the eco-hydrological cycle. The paper eventually aims to deduce several factors conducive to particularly rapid and concentrated water transfers, which leads to flash floods.
