VMP250_TidalChannel_024_csRGL_2022-03-03 Ship VMP-250 Haro Strait Lueck Large up/down drafts affecting fall rate; this one processed using a constant speed of [math]\displaystyle{ 0.75\, \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}} }[/math]; some estimates require fitting to the inertial subrange.
VMP250_TidalChannel_024_RGL_2022-03-03 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.
VMP250_KZN_AgulhasCurrent_048RGL_2022-03-02 Ship VMP-250 Agulhas Current Lueck Moderately intense turbulence. Two sections: one good, the other has descent glitches
CPF_MR1000_Monterey_Bay_19_8RGL_2022-03-02 Uprising float MR-1000 Monterey Bay Lueck Example of a float rising at [math]\displaystyle{ 0.20\,\mathrm{m\,s^{-1}} }[/math]; some wave orbital interference.
mCTD_VL_StJohns_River_070RGL_2022-03-02 Small boat mCTD St. Jons River, Florida Lueck Example of multiple shallow profiles in an estuary.
MicroCTD_UQAM_Malaysia_047_10RGL_2022-03-02.nc Small boat mCTD Freshwater reservoir in Malaysia Lueck Example of poor data that looks good in a vertical profile of shear.
EPSILOMETER_RockallTrough Ship Epsilometer Rockall Trough Le Boyer Strong turbulence in a canyon
AUV_MicroRider_BarentsSea AUV MicroRider Barents Sea (Arctic) Fer Propelled vehicle
Glider_MicroRider_BarentsSea Glider MicroRider Barents Sea (Arctic) Fer
VMP6000_OgasawaraRidge Ship VMP-6000 Ogasawara Ridge (western Pacific) Hibiya Untethered; >3000 m profile
Glider_MicroRider_Shelf_Peru Glider MicroRider
Continental slope off Peru, eastern tropical Pacific Dengler Electromagnetic current meter; strong tidal currents
MSS_BalticSea Ship MSS Baltic Sea Holtermann One good profile, one corrupted by jellyfish
MSS_ArcticOcean Ice MSS Arctic Ocean Meyer
VMP6000_NorwegianSea Ship VMP-6000 Norwegian Sea Fer In a strong & deep anticyclone, full depth (>3000 m)
Ice_VMP250upriser_ArcticOcean Ice VMP-250 upriser Arctic Ocean Fer One good and bad profile to highlight challenges with an upriser
Moored_MicroRider_TidalChannel Mooring MicroRider Lueck Time series from a fixed point; strong tidal flow
