  1. We separate years with significant pluvial responses (2007–2009, 2016) from the remainder of the dataset (2005–2017) to show how shifts in the timing and magnitude of pluvial energy affect proportions of annual flux during each hydrological period. Full flux data are available in the Supplementary Data.
