ARM Soil Texture Data Set

The Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Southern Great Plains (SGP) Soil Texture 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 percentages of sand, silt, and clay fractions in each soil layer at each of the ARM SWATS (Soil Water and Temperature System) sites at the SGP site. Also included is the corresponding USDA texture class as determined from the "soil triangle". 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).

能源部大气辐射测量（ARM）南部大平原（SGP）土壤质地数据集是专为ARM/GCIP（全球能量和水循环实验—GEWEX—大陆尺度国际项目）1997年近地表观测（NESOB-97）数据集开发的多种地下数据集之一。该数据集包含了一个汇总表，详细列出了ARM SWATS（土壤水分和温度系统）站点在每个土壤层中沙、粉砂和粘土比例的百分比，以及根据“土壤三角形”确定的相应美国农业部土壤质地分类。土壤特性分析由俄克拉荷马州立大学完成。大气研究大学公司/联合科学支持办公室（UCAR/JOSS）未对数据进行额外的质量控制。
