Dataset requirements for shear probes

This page provides an overview of the NetCDF format of benchmark dataset for instruments that measure microstructure shear using airfoil probes. The data format recommended is summarized in standard dimensions and should include necessary meta data. ATOMIX provides several benchmark data sets following these guidelines.

Shear probe measurements: Data Format

Following the recommendations of the flow chart, ATOMIX defined four processing levels a user needs to follow to obtain a standardized estimation of epsilon:

1. Raw timeseries
   • full resolution data in physical units
2. Quality-controlled and segmented timeseries
   • full resolution cleaned and despiked parameters from level 1, subdivided in individual sections.
3. Spectra
   • raw and cleaned spectra
4. Dissipation [math]\displaystyle{ \varepsilon }[/math] estimates
   • dissipation estimates and corresponding quality parameter as time series
