1.0  General Description
     
The Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) 
Southern Great Plains (SGP) Surface Meteorological Observation System
(SMOS) is one of various data sets provided for the Southern Great 
Plains 1999 (SGP99) project.  This data set contains 1-min values of
surface meteorological parameters at many of the ARM Extended Facilities.
This data set covers the period from 19 July through 31 July 1999.  The 
SGP99 domain is approximately 97W to 99W longitude and 34.5N to 37N 
latitude.  No additional quality control was performed by the University
Corporation for Atmospheric Research/Joint Office for Science Support (JOSS).
