  - The spatio-temporal variability of rainfall, especially at fine temporal and spatial
    scales can significantly affect flood generation, leading to a large variability
    in the flood response and uncertainty in its prediction. In this study we quantify
    the impact of rainfall spatial and temporal structure on the catchment hydrological
    response based on a numerical experiment. Rainfall ensembles generated using a
    state-of-the-art space–time stochastic model are used as input into a distributed
    process-based hydrological model. The sensitivity of the hydrograph to several
    structural characteristics of storm rainfall for three soil moisture initial conditions
    is numerically assessed at the basin outlet of an Alpine catchment in central
    Switzerland. The results highlight that the flood response is strongly affected
    by the temporal correlation of rainfall and to a lesser extent by its spatial
    variability. Initial soil moisture conditions play a paramount role in mediating
    the response. We identify the underlying mechanistic explanations in terms of
    runoff generation and connectivity of saturated areas that determine the sensitivity
    of flood response to the spatio-temporal variability of rainfall. We show that
    the element that mostly influences both the flood peak and the time of peak occurrence
    is the clustering of saturated areas in the catchment which leads to local enhanced
    runoff.@eng
