Information is currently being transferred onto the wiki about the additional datasets.

Summary of potential 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	0.15-0.2	1e-8 to 1e-5	Unstratified, but shear-induced anisotropy	Unusual spikes at 0.15 m. At 0.45m, the viscous subrange is occasionally resolved
Tidal shelf low quality	185	0.4 and 1.4	<0.3 but usually 0.1		Bottom one in log-layer using the classical definition	Low-quality dataset
Tidal shelf high quality	250	1.4?	<0.65	1e-7 to 1e-5	Stratified bottom log-layer	High-quality dataset with phase wrapping
Lake	4.3	0.12	<0.1m/s		Unstratified	Shallow Lake (DW)
Surface waves						large orbital sigma vs mean current (SM)
Surface waves						sigma/U is roughly 1 (JM)
Underice MAVS	353	248	0.15 max.	1e-8 to 1e-6	weak stratification	*under ice boundary layer, MAVS suspended 5m depth
Tidal MAVS	20	1.45	1	1e-3	weak stratification	Strong tidal flows
