NetCDF velocimeters format

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). The NetCDF benchmark format was designed with the goal of facilitating algorithm testing and verification. Minimum requirements for archiving will be discussed at later date.

Benchmark dataset format for velocity point-measurements

ATOMIX provides several benchmark datasets consisting of four processing levels.

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