ARM Soil Water Retention Data Set
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/21.055

Summary
The Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM)
Southern Great Plains (SGP) Soil Water Retention Data Set is one of the
various sub-surface data sets developed for the ARM/GCIP (Global Energy and
Water Cycle Experiment ?GEWEX? Continental-scale International Project) 1996
Near-Surface Observation (NESOB-96) Data Set. This data set contains a table
for each of the ARM SWATS (Soil Water and Temperature System) sites at the SGP
site containing the observed soil water retention data as obtained from
laboratory tests using pressure plates and hanging columns. The soil
characterizations were perfomed by Oklahoma State University. No additional
quality control was performed by the University Corporation for Atmospheric
Research/Joint Office for Science Support (UCAR/JOSS).
