These datasets are temporarily in a folder, and will eventually be housed at the BODC center with a DOI.

Summary of potential benchmark datasets for testing existing and future algorithms
Dataset name Total depth Deployment distance from boundary Background median speed ε range Stratification/shear information Comment
Units [m] [m] [m/s] [W/kg]
Tidal Slough ADV 2.8 0.45 0.15 1e-7 to 1e-5 Unstratified, but shear-induced anisotropy Viscous subrange is occasionally resolved. Another ADV at 0.15 m shows wrapping issues.
Tidal Shelf ADV 250 0.4 0.26 1e-7 to 1e-4 Stratified bottom log-layer High-quality dataset with phase wrapping. It overlaps with an ADCP Signature benchmark.
Underice MAVS 353 5 0.03 3e-9 to 7e-8 Weak stratification Under-ice boundary layer, MAVS suspended 5 m beneath the ice
Tidal MAVS 20 1.45 1.1 3e-4 to 1e-3 Weak stratification Strong tidal flows
