SGP97 ARM Organic Carbon and Organic Matter Soils Data Set

Metadata Updated: February 4, 2022

The Southern Great Plains 1997 (SGP97) Hydrology Experiment originated from an interdisciplinary investigation, "Soil Moisture Mapping at Satellite Temporal and Spatial Scales" (PI: Thomas J. Jackson, USDA Agricultural Research Service, Beltsville, MD) selected under the NASA Research Announcement 95-MTPE-03. The core of the 1997 experiment involves the deployment of the L-band Electronically Scanned Thinned Array Radiometer (ESTAR) for daily mapping of surface soil moisture. The region selected for investigation is the best instrumented site for surface soil moisture, hydrology and meteorology in the world. This includes the USDA/ARS Little Washita Watershed, the USDA/ARS facility at El Reno, Oklahoma, the ARM/CART central facility, as well as the Oklahoma Mesonet. The temporal coverage for this dataset is as follows: Begin datetime: 1995-10-01 00:00:00, End datetime: 2001-03-31 23:59:59. The Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Southern Great Plains (SGP) Organic Carbon and Organic Matter Soils Data Set is one of the various sub-surface data sets developed for the GCIP (Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment [GEWEX] Continental-scale International Project) Enhanced Observation Period (EOP) Data Set. This data set contains a summary table of the measured organic carbon percentage and the estimated organic matter percentage in the near surface soil at each of the ARM SWATS (Soil Water and Temperature System) sites at the SGP site. The soil characterizations were performed by Oklahoma State University.
