ARM Southern Great Plains site

Fluxnet Information
Site Name: ARM Southern Great Plains site
Description: The ARM SGP Main tower is located at the ARM SGP central facility near Lamont, Oklahoma. The SGP site consists of in situ and remote-sensing instrument clusters arrayed across approximately 55,000 square miles (143,000 square kilometers) in north-central Oklahoma and south-central Kansas. The ARM SGP site is the largest and most extensive climate research field site in the world and can be viewed as a real "laboratory without walls." The surrounding landscape is used solely for agricultural purposes, which routinely undergoes four-stages of development: till, plant, fertilize, and harvest. During 2001 - 2004, the fields were used for wheat production. Beginning in 2005, the fields were switched to corn. Wheat returned in late 2005, followed by soybeans during the latter half of 2006.
Status: Active, core measurements presently being made
