The required dimensions and variables for the first processing level within NetCDF ATOMIX format for ADCP velocity measurements are described below. This processing level contains the raw measurements recorded by the instrument. If sampling is in burst mode, the measurements from individual bursts are appended together.

Only a few attributes for each variable are listed since the page's purpose is to describe the information layout within each NetCDF file. Please refer to the complete list for the additional attributes related to each variable.
