Benchmark datasets for shear probes
From Atomix
We compiled a collection of five benchmark data sets described in Scientific Data: Fer et al. (2024)
These datasets can be accessed from the BODC center.
We provide a number of Matlab routines to read in and compare data from grouped NetCDF files that follow our recommended structure on our GitHub repository. The Matlab function ATOMIX_load.m there can be used to load a benchmark data file.
| Link | Region | Instrument | Platform | PI (ATOMIX) | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [1] | Haro Strait | VMP-250 | Ship | Lueck | Intense turbulence. Large up/down drafts. Most estimates require fitting to the inertial subrange. |
| [2] | Rockall Trough | Epsilometer | Ship | Le Boyer | Strong turbulence in a canyon |
| [3] | Faroe Bank Channel (North Atlantic) | VMP-2000 | Ship | Fer | Ranging from quiescent mid-water to turbulent, deep gravity current |
| [4] | Baltic Sea | MSS | Ship | Holtermann | |
| [5] | Minas Passage (Bay of Fundy, NS) | MicroRider | Mooring | Lueck | A swift tidal channel. All dissipation estimated from the inertial subrange |
