DOE ARM SGP Soil Water and Temperature System (SWATS) Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/71.007

Summary
This data set contains hourly resolution soil temperature and moisture data at
5, 15, 25, 35, 60, 85, 125, 175 cm depths from the Department of Energy (DOE)
Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Southern Great Plains (SGP) Soil Water
and Temperature System (SWATS). These SWATS stations are located at many of
the ARM SGP Extended Facilities in southern Kansas and northern Oklahoma. This
data set covers the period from 1 February 1996 through present. These data
are in monthly zip files (with an average size of 6 Mb each) containing netCDF
files. UCAR/JOSS has not done any additional processing or quality control on
these data.
