	Abstract	The flow duration curve (FDC) is a hydrologically meaningful representation of the statistical distribution of daily streamflows. The complexity of processes contributing to the FDC introduces challenges for the direct exploration of physical controls on FDC. In this paper, the controls of climate and catchment characteristics on FDC are explored using a stochastic framework that enables construction of the FDC from three components of streamflow: fast and slow flow (during wet days) and slow flow during dry days. The FDC during wet days (FDCw) is computed as the statistical sum of the fast flow duration curve (FFDC) and the slow flow duration curve (SFDCw), considering their dependency. FDC is modeled as the mixture distribution of FDCw and the slow flow duration curve during dry days (SFDCd), by considering the fraction of wet days (δ) for perennial streams and both δ and the fraction of days of zero streamflow for ephemeral streams. The Kappa distribution is employed to fit the FFDC, SFDCw, and SFDCd for 300 catchments from Model Parameter Estimation Experiment (MOPEX) across the United States. Results show that the 0-20th percentile of FDC is controlled by FFDC and SFDCw, the 90-100th percentile of FDC is controlled by SFDCd, and the 20-90th percentile of FDC is controlled by three components. The relationships between estimated Kappa distribution parameters and climate and catchment characteristics reveal that the aridity index, the coefficient of variation of daily precipitation, timing of precipitation, time interval between storms, snow, topographic slope, and slope of recession slope curve are dominant controlling factors.
