Velocity profilers
From Atomix
Welcome to the ADCP structure function group
The ADCP structure function group addresses best practices in obtaining turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate estimates from ADCP's using a platform independent approach. Our recommendations are applicable for measurements from bed-mounted ADCPs or ADCPs attached to mooring lines.
Scope
We will provide
- Flow chart for collecting and processing ADCP structure function ε estimates
- Quality control measures for both pre- and post-processed data.
- Dataset requirements for ADCP structure function
- Benchmark datasets for ADCP structure function
Structure function-derived estimates of turbulence parameters from lowered ADCPs mounted on CTD rosettes and other profiling platforms are beyond the scope of this working group.
