Level 1 data refers to the full resolution data in physical units, e.g. the regularly sampled time series of converted shear probe data. If needed, a transfer function for shear is given. Below, a table with parameters included in the level 1 data set is compiled. The parameter names and definitions fit the NetCDF parameter attributes.
In the standard names, "sea_water" can be replaced with "water" if working in freshwater environments. This is specified in some entries below but not all.
Dimensions
Dimension short name ! description
The length of the record from turbulence (fast) data channels
The length of the record from the *** sensor (e.g., CTD or SLOW)
number of shear channel
number of *** channel (e.g., N_VIB_SENSORS, N_ACC_SENSORS)
[math]\displaystyle{ ^a }[/math] Typically we assume TIME for the fast-sampled microstructure channels, and eventually _SLOW or _CTD for slower sampled channels such as CTD and tilt sensors. If the application requires different time stamps for different sensors, this can be utilized like TIME_PITCH, TIME_ACC etc.
