ARM Soil Texture Data Set
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/21.058

Summary
The Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM)
Southern Great Plains (SGP) Soil Texture 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 summary
table of the percentages of sand, silt, and clay fractions in each soil layer
at each of the ARM SWATS (Soil Water and Temperature System) sites at the SGP
site. Also included is the corresponding USDA texture class as determined from
the "soil triangle". 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).
