The data are dynamic response characteristics (DRCs) produced by modelling the rainfall-runoff behaviour of a series of micro-basins installed by the NERC Q-NFM project largely in Cumbria (UK) and ranging in scale from 0.0071 to 2.7329 sq. km. Specifically, the rainfall to discharge response of these basins has been modelled with the RIV algorithm of the CAPTAIN Toolbox (Taylor et al., 2007 doi.org/10.1016/j.envsoft.2006.03.002). The resultant modelled characteristics of the rainfall-discharge dynamics are presented on an event-by-event basis.
