Flow chart for dissipation estimates using shear probes

The processing of shear-probe data can be divided into the following five major steps and these steps apply to data collected with any platform or vehicle. There are many sub-steps to these major steps. The major steps are;

1. Conversion to physical units.

   • Determine the speed of profiling of the shear-probe through the water.
   • Determine the temperature of the water.
   • Convert the shear-probe data samples into physical units
   • Convert all other signals per the recommendations of the manufacturer of the sensor or instruments that produce these signals.
