This will dictate the data required at the final processing level, where we store the estimated dissipation estimates [math]\displaystyle{ \varepsilon }[/math] along with quality metrics.
Dimensions
| Short name | Standard name | Dimensions | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| TIME | time | TIME | Units in Days since 1950-01-01T00:00:00Z. Provide a bounds attribute to designate the variable containing the limits of each segment (see CF-compliant example). |
| R_DIST | distance_from_sensor_along_beams | R_DIST | Along-beam bin centre distance (in meters) from the transducer |
| N_BEAM | unique_identifier_for_each_beam | N_BEAM | Array of 1 to number of beams (3 to 5 typically) |
| Optional dimensions for 5-beam ADCP | |||
| R_DIST5 | distance_from_sensor_along_beam_5 | R_DIST5 | Along-beam bin centre distance (in meters) from the transducer for the 5th vertical beam |
