Short summary
By taking an example of Allen’s formula as a hydrological model based on long-term data at a Chinese site, the relationships between driving forces and responses for average, minimum and maximum values at daily, monthly and annual scale are revealed. It indicates due to the relationships’ nonlinearity a routine model may not be able to catch hydrological responses extreme from extreme driving events and it is even more so for future. Finding a primary driver is one of the ways for improvements.
