Improving Microstructure Shear Data Processing in Ocean Turbulence
This data set is related to the article "Improving the robustness of dissipation rate estimates from microstructure shear data processing in ocean turbulence" (submitted to JTech, AMS). It provides the raw data files (with extension .p) from a vertical microstructure profiler VMP-6000 used for the published study. Raw data files are provided since the study precisely report on the data processing of raw microstructure horizontal velocity shear data to get dissipation rates of turbulent kinetic energy using the manufacturer software. The software (ODAS) can be downloaded from the manufacturer website at: https://rocklandscientific.com. The profiles were collected in the Mediterranean Sea in 2013 (French VAD cruise) and 2014 (Italian MEDOCC cruise), and in the North Atlantic Ocean in 2021 (MoMAR cruise). More details on the profiles are given in the related publication.
