Benchmark datasets for ADCP structure function

This page provides an overview of the benchmark dataset for instruments that measure velocity profiles e.g., acoustic-Doppler current profilers from diverse suppliers and models.

Datasets available

Selection and preparation of benchmark datasets are a work in progress! These benchmark datasets will cover a range of marine environments, background stratification and flow fields.

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 shelf					Bottom one in log-layer using the classical definition	Low-quality dataset
Lake
