ARM Parameters for Soil Water Retention Models Data Set
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/19.028

Summary
The Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM)
Southern Great Plains (SGP) Parameters for Soil Water Retention Models 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 one table for each of the ARM SWATS (Soil Water and
Temperature System) sites at the SGP site containing the fitted values of the
parameters in the van Genuchten and Brooks-Corey equations for relating soil
water pressure to volumetric water content. 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).
