SGP97 Surface: DOE ARM Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN) Radiation Data

Published by Agricultural Research Service | Department of Agriculture | Metadata Last Checked: January 22, 2026 | Last Modified: 2025-11-22
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 temporal coverage for this dataset is as follows: Begin datetime: 1997-06-01 00:00:00, End datetime: 1997-07-31 23:59:59. The Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program operates a Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN) station at the Central Facility (located near Lamont, in north-central Oklahoma) of its Southern Great Plains site. BSRN provides 1-min observations of direct-beam normal solar irradiance, downwelling hemispheric diffuse solar irradiance, downwelling hemispheric solar irradiance and downwelling hemispheric infrared irradiance.
