Tentative benchmarks for shear probes

From Atomix

Please follow the Filename convention for testing if changing the filename prefix supplied in this table. These datasets are temporarily in a dropbox folder, and will eventually be housed at the BODC center with a DOI.

File name when testing

FilenamePrefix_II.nc​ where II is your initials (use as many letters as needed)​.

The table should include only prefix, not the full testing filename

Filename Prefix Platform Instrument Region PI (ATOMIX) Comment Volunteer testers
VMP250_TidalChannel_024 Ship VMP-250 Haro Strait Lueck Large up/down drafts affecting fall rate; this one processed using a speed equal to [math]\displaystyle{ \mathrm{d}P/\mathrm{d}t }[/math]; some estimates require fitting to the inertial subrange. All testers who have their own code.
FLOAT_MR_KY1310_Kuroshio Float Micro-Rider 1000 Kuroshio Inoue Low epsilon with slow speeds past the sensor, NAVIS float. Fer, Bluteau
EPSILOMETER_RockallTrough Ship Epsilometer Rockall Trough Le Boyer Strong turbulence in a canyon Lueck, Ilker
Glider_MicroRider_BarentsSea Glider MicroRider Barents Sea (Arctic) Fer Dengler
MSS_BalticSea Ship MSS Baltic Sea Holtermann One good profile, one corrupted by jellyfish Fer
Nemo_MR1000_Minas_Passage_InStream Mooring MicroRider Minas Passage (Bay of Fundy, NS) Lueck a swift tidal channel. Dissipation estimated from the inertial subrange Fer, Bluteau
