This issue is to update the METplus Verification Datasets Guide (in docs/Verification_Datasets/datasets) to add a description of the how ISMN soil moisture data can be used in verification. Note that this does not need to be very long, and does not need to repeat what's already listed on the ISMN site. Instead, we just want to briefly describe the data source and why/how its useful for verification.

Describe the Task
Pull request https://github.com/dtcenter/MET/pull/2758 for issue https://github.com/dtcenter/MET/issues/2701 adds support to ascii2nc for handling the -format ismn option for reading soil moisture data (and other variable types too) for the ISMN Network. In addition, issue dtcenter/METplus#2447 updates the ASCII2NC wrapper to handle this new format.
