Covariance-Based Turbulence Data

This is a collation of turbulence data collected by various Stanford researchers at Conch Reef (Davis and Monismith 2011 JPO), Kilo Nalu (Squibb 2014 Stanford thesis), Eilat (Dunckley 2012 Stanford thesis) and Monterey Bay (Walter et al. 2014 JGR). The variables are as described. Units are all m and s. Note that all original data where N^2 &lt; 2e-5 s^-1 and Rif&lt;1e-4 have been removed from this data set. Davis, K. A., and S. G.
