ATOMIX provides several benchmark datasets consisting of four processing levels.
 
# [[Level 1 data (velocity profilers)|Raw timeseries]]
#* full resolution raw measurements in physical units, including ancillary parameters used to quality-control observations (e.g., amplitudes and correlations). Note: instrument-specific binary data is not included.
# [[Level 2 data (velocity profilers)|Quality-controlled timeseries]]
#* full resolution cleaned measurements from level 1
# [[Level 3 data (velocity profilers)|Structure function]]
#* calculated structure function parameters
# [[Level 4 data (velocity profilers)|Dissipation <math>\varepsilon</math> estimates]]
#* dissipation estimates and corresponding quality control parameter as time series
