Benchmark datasets for velocity measurements

Summary of datasets that will become benchmark datasets for testing existing and future algorithms

Dataset name	Total depth	Deployment height above bottom	Background speed	[math]\displaystyle{ \varepsilon }[/math] range	Stratification/shear information	Comment
Units	[m]	[m]	[m/s]	[W/kg]
Tidal slough	2.8	0.15 and 0.45	0.15-0.2m/s (median)	1e-8 to1e-5	Unstratified, but shear-induced anisotropy	Unusual spikes at 0.15 m. At 0.45m, the viscous subrange is occasionally resolved
Tidal shelf	185	0.4 and 1.4	<0.3m/s but usually 0.1m/s		Bottom one in log-layer using the classical definition	Low-quality dataset
Lake						Sloping BBL in thermocline (DW)
Surface waves						large orbital sigma vs mean current (SM)
Surface waves						sigma/U is roughly 1 (JM)
MAVS						CS
