ARM/GCIP Near-Surface Observation Data Set - 1996 (NESOB-96) at UCAR/JOSS/NOAA/CODIAC

The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM)/Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Continental-scale International Project (GCIP) Near-Surface Observation Data Set - 1996 (NESOB-96) took place around the ARM - Cloud and Radiation Testbed (ARM/CART) site (34 to 39 Deg North Latitude and 94.5 to 100.5 Degrees West Longitude) during the period beginning 1 April and ending 30 September 1996. This data set includes data covering the vertical dimension from 3000 m above the surface to two meters below the surface. The data set will include surface meteorological data, precipitation, radiation, heat and momentum fluxes, soil temperature and moisture, and vertical profiles of temperature, moisture, and winds. The measurements will be from a wide variety of instrumentation and sources.
