ARM Soil Bulk Density Data Set
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/40.007

Summary
The Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM)
Southern Great Plains (SGP) Soil Bulk Density 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) 1997
Near-Surface Observation (NESOB-97) Data Set. This data set contains a summary
table of the bulk densities representing the average of the values obtained
from the soil water retention samples at each of the ARM SWATS (Soil Water and
Temperature System) sites at the SGP site. 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).
