These parameters must be set prior to appling the structure function techniques to your ADCP measurements:

  1. Set evaluation spatial scale. It is dependent on:
    • bin size and beam range (to ensure a sufficient number of data points)
    • length scales for isotropic turbulence
  2. delta b calculation
    1. determine the percentage of instances in a burst when delta b can be calculated for separation distance delta r at a location r
    2. distribution of delta b / delta b squared values – the impact of outliers and resilience of mean
