Benchmark datasets for shear probes
From Atomix
These datasets can be accessed from a dropbox folder, and will eventually be housed at the BODC center with a DOI.
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..
| Filename Prefix | Platform | Instrument | Region | PI (ATOMIX) | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VMP250_TidalChannel_024 | Ship | VMP-250 | Haro Strait | Lueck | Intense turbulence. Large up/down drafts. Most estimates require fitting to the inertial subrange. |
| EPSILOMETER_RockallTrough | Ship | Epsilometer | Rockall Trough | Le Boyer | Strong turbulence in a canyon |
| VMP2000_FaroeBankChannel | Ship | VMP-2000 | Faroe Bank Channel (North Atlantic) | Fer | Ranging from quiescent mid-water to turbulent, deep gravity current |
| MSS_BalticSea | Ship | MSS | Baltic Sea | Holtermann | |
| Nemo_MR1000_Minas_Passage_InStream | Mooring | MicroRider | Minas Passage (Bay of Fundy, NS) | Lueck | A swift tidal channel. All dissipation estimated from the inertial subrange |
