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 slough 2.8 0.45 0.15-0.2 1e-8 to 1e-5 Unstratified, but shear-induced anisotropy Viscous subrange is occasionally resolved. Another ADV at 0.15 m shows wrapping issues.
Tidal shelf low quality 185 0.4 <0.3 but usually 0.1 1e-7 to 1e-4 Bottom one in log-layer using the classical definition Low-quality dataset
Tidal shelf high quality 250 0.4 <0.65 1e-7 to 1e-5 Stratified bottom log-layer High-quality dataset with phase wrapping. It overlaps with an ADCP Signature benchmark.
Underice MAVS 353 248 0.15 max. 1e-8 to 1e-6 weak stratification *under ice boundary layer, MAVS suspended 5m depth
Tidal MAVS 20 1.45 1 1e-3 weak stratification Strong tidal flows
Lake 4.3 0.12 <0.1m/s Unstratified Shallow Lake (DW)
Surface waves large orbital sigma vs mean current (SM)
Surface waves sigma/U is roughly 1 (JM)
