Benchmark datasets for velocity measurements
From Atomix
These datasets are currently located in Zenodo. They will eventually be housed at the BODC center.
| Dataset name | Total depth | Deployment distance from boundary | Background median speed | range | Stratification/shear information | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Units | [m] | [m] | [m/s] | [W/kg] | ||
| Tidal Slough ADV | 2.8 | 0.45 | 0.15 | 1e-7 to 1e-5 | Unstratified, but shear-induced anisotropy | Viscous subrange is occasionally resolved. Another ADV at 0.15 m shows wrapping issues. |
| Tidal Shelf ADV | 250 | 0.4 | 0.26 | 1e-7 to 1e-4 | Stratified bottom log-layer | High-quality dataset with phase wrapping. It overlaps with an ADCP Signature benchmark. |
| Underice MAVS | 353 | 5 | 0.03 | 3e-9 to 7e-8 | Weak stratification | Under-ice boundary layer, MAVS suspended 5 m beneath the ice |
| Tidal MAVS | 20 | 1.45 | 1.1 | 3e-4 to 1e-3 | Weak stratification | Strong tidal flows |
