This page provides an overview of the NetCDF format of benchmark dataset for instruments that measure velocities at a point in space e.g., acoustic-Doppler velocimeters and travel-time velocimeters (MAVS).


Benchmark datasets: Velocity point-measurements

ATOMIX provides several benchmark datasets consisting of four processing levels.

Level 1 - converted

full resolution data in physical units

Level 2 - QAQC

full resolution cleaned and despiked parameters from level 1, subdivided in individual sections.

Level 3 - spectra

raw and cleaned spectra

Level 4 - turbulence estimates

dissipation estimates and corresponding quality parameter as time series

For each benchmark data set, all four data levels are included in a single netcdf file along standard dimensions, and including the corresponding metadata.
