Welcome to the shear probe group!

The shear probe group addresses best practices in obtaining dissipation rate estimates from shear probes using a platform-independent approach. Our recommendations are applicable for measurements from probes attached to e.g., conventional gravity-driven loose-tether vertical profilers, ocean gliders, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), or autonomous self-propelled floats (e.g. SOLO).

Our "Best practices recommendations for estimating dissipation rates from shear probes" are described in a Methods article in Frontiers in Marine Science: Lueck et al. (2024)

We compiled a collection of five benchmark datasets described in Scientific Data: Fer et al. (2024)
