Netcdf dimensions (shear probes)

Netcdf dimensions (shear probes)

Dimension	Level	Description
TIME	L1	length of the record from turbulence (fast) data channels
TIME_*** $a^{}$	L1	length of the record from slow data channels (if different from fast)
N_SHEAR_SENSORS	L1	number of shear channels (shear sensors)
N_***_SENSORS $b^{}$	L1	number of *** channel (sensors)
TIME	L2	length of the record from turbulence (fast) data channels
N_SHEAR_SENSORS	L2	number of shear channels (shear sensors)
N_***_SENSORS $b^{}$	L2	number of *** channel (sensors)
TIME_SPECTRA	L3	length of the record of average times of spectral segments
N_WAVENUMBER	L3	length of the wavenumber array
N_***_SENSORS $b^{}$	L3	number of *** channel (sensors)
N_SH_ACC_SPEC $c^{}$	L3	number of shear-acceleration cross spectra
N_SH_VIB_SPEC $d^{}$	L3	number of shear-vibration cross spectra
N_GLOBAL_VALUES $e^{}$	L3	dimension for 1 data point (for the entire analysis)
TIME_SPECTRA	L4	length of the record of average times of spectral segments
N_SHEAR_SENSORS	L4	number of shear channels (shear sensors)

$a^{}$ Typically TIME is assumed for the fast-sampled microstructure channels. Use, e.g., TIME_SLOW or TIME_CTD for slower sampled channels such as CTD and tilt sensors.
$b^{}$ Example dimension names would be: N_VIB_SENSORS for vibration (piezo-acceleration) sensors, N_ACC_SENSORS for vibration acceleration sensors.
$c^{}$ number of shear sensors x number of ACC sensors

$d^{}$ number of shear sensors x number of VIB sensors

$e^{}$ Dimension for variables of the size 1x1 for variables such as N_FFT_SEGMENTS and DOF.
