We utilize monthly averaged, multi-layer (three layers, integrated from depth of 0 to 5 m) soil moisture and evapotranspiration analyses from the Australian Water Resources Assessment system’s landscape model (AWRA-L version 620). These analyses are available on a 0.05° × 0.05° grid for the period 1912–2017. AWRA-Lv6 is a water balance model that is driven by observed meteorological parameters and has been shown to agree well with independent observations of soil moisture, evapotranspiration and runoff. The data are available on request from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (http://www.bom.gov.au/water/landscape). Here, we make use of vertically integrated (soil depth 0–5 m) soil moisture and evapotranspiration.
