This flow chart will recommend the best practice in deploying your ADCP, collecting, quality-controlling and processing the data to arrive at turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate estimates. No actual code is provided, rather these are the essential steps to be taken or implemented with your preferred software for pulse-pulse coherent ADCP data. Quality control measures are implemented at two stages: QA1 and QA2.

  1. Deploy ADCP appropriately to collect reliable turbulence data
  2. Apply quality-control on velocity time series data
  3. Set structure function processing parameters
  4. Compute structure functions and dissipation estimates
  5. Apply quality-control on dissipation rates
