• II is your initials (use as many letters as needed)​
• YYYYMMDD is the year, month and date using the ISO standard date.

Filename Prefix	Platform	Instrument	Region	PI (ATOMIX)	Comment	Volunteer testers
VMP250_TidalChannel_024_csRGL_2022-03-03	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.
VMP250_TidalChannel_024_RGL_2022-03-03	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.
VMP250_KZN_AgulhasCurrent_048RGL_2022-03-02	Ship	VMP-250	Agulhas Current	Lueck	Moderately intense turbulence. Two sections: one good, the other has descent glitches
CPF_MR1000_Monterey_Bay_19_8RGL_2022-03-02	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.
mCTD_VL_StJohns_River_070RGL_2022-03-02	Small boat	mCTD	St. Jons River, Florida	Lueck	Example of multiple shallow profiles in an estuary.
MicroCTD_UQAM_Malaysia_047_10RGL_2022-03-02	Small boat	mCTD	Freshwater reservoir in Malaysia	Lueck	Example of poor data that looks good in a vertical profile of shear.
VMP2000_Test_HaroStraitRGL_2022-03-02	Small ship	VMP-2000	Haro Strait, tidal channel	Lueck	Example of profiler with several narrow banded vibrations.
EPSILOMETER_RockallTrough	Ship	Epsilometer	Rockall Trough	Le Boyer	Strong turbulence in a canyon
AUV_MicroRider_BarentsSea	AUV	MicroRider	Barents Sea (Arctic)	Fer	Propelled vehicle
Glider_MicroRider_BarentsSea	Glider	MicroRider	Barents Sea (Arctic)	Fer
VMP6000_OgasawaraRidge	Ship	VMP-6000	Ogasawara Ridge (western Pacific)	Hibiya	Untethered; >3000 m profile
Glider_MicroRider_Shelf_Peru	Glider	MicroRider	Continental slope off Peru, eastern tropical Pacific	Dengler	Electromagnetic current meter; strong tidal currents
MSS_BalticSea	Ship	MSS	Baltic Sea	Holtermann	One good profile, one corrupted by jellyfish
MSS_ArcticOcean	Ice	MSS	Arctic Ocean	Meyer
VMP6000_NorwegianSea	Ship	VMP-6000	Norwegian Sea	Fer	In a strong & deep anticyclone, full depth (>3000 m)
Ice_VMP250upriser_ArcticOcean	Ice	VMP-250 upriser	Arctic Ocean	Fer	One good and bad profile to highlight challenges with an upriser
Moored_MicroRider_TidalChannel	Mooring	MicroRider		Lueck	Time series from a fixed point; strong tidal flow
