Tentative benchmarks for shear probes

Please follow the Filename convention for testing if changing the filename prefix supplied in this table.

File name when testing

FilenamePrefix_II.nc​ where II is your initials (use as many letters as needed)​.

The table should include only prefix, not the full testing filename

Filename Prefix	Platform	Instrument	Region	PI (ATOMIX)	Comment	Volunteer testers
VMP250_TidalChannel_024_cs	Ship	VMP-250	Haro Strait	Lueck	Large up/down drafts affecting fall rate; this one processed using a constant speed of [math]\displaystyle{ 0.75\, \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}} }[/math]; some estimates require fitting to the inertial subrange.	Dengler
VMP250_TidalChannel_024	Ship	VMP-250	Haro Strait	Lueck	Large up/down drafts affecting fall rate; this one processed using a speed equal to [math]\displaystyle{ \mathrm{d}P/\mathrm{d}t }[/math]; some estimates require fitting to the inertial subrange.	All testers who have their own code.
FLOAT_MR_KY1310_Kuroshio	Float	Micro-Rider 1000	Kuroshio	Inoue	Low epsilon with slow speeds past the sensor, NAVIS float.	Bluteau, Fer
VMP_SA_Sodwana_Bay_KZN_048	Ship	VMP-250	Agulhas Current	Lueck	Moderately intense turbulence. Two sections: one good, the other has descent glitches	Holtermann, George
CPF_MR1000_Monterey_Bay_19_8	Uprising float	MR-1000	Monterey Bay	Lueck	Example of a float rising at [math]\displaystyle{ 0.20\,\mathrm{m\,s^{-1}} }[/math]; some wave orbital interference.	Fer
mCTD_VL_StJohns_River_070	Small boat	mCTD	St. Jons River, Florida	Lueck	Example of multiple shallow profiles in an estuary.	Le Boyer
MicroCTD_UQAM_Malaysia_047_10	Small boat	mCTD	Freshwater reservoir in Malaysia	Lueck	Example of poor data that looks good in a vertical profile of shear.	Le Boyer, George

Glider_MicroRider_Shelf_Peru	Glider	MicroRider	Continental slope off Peru, eastern tropical Pacific	Dengler	Electromagnetic current meter; strong tidal currents	Le Boyer
MSS_BalticSea	Ship	MSS	Baltic Sea	Holtermann	One good profile, one corrupted by jellyfish	Fer
MSS_ArcticOcean	Ice	MSS	Arctic Ocean	Meyer		Lueck, Bluteau
VMP6000_NorwegianSea	Ship	VMP-6000	Norwegian Sea	Fer	In a strong & deep anticyclone, full depth (>3000 m)	Inoue
