Daily-average estimates of turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate in Celtic Sea (49.4N -8.6E) from June 19th 2014 to September 1st 2014

estimates of turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate (ε) were derived from velocity measurements made by three teledyne rdi workhorse sentinel 600khz acoustic doppler current profiler (adcp) instruments mounted inline on a buoyancy tensioned mooring (location shown in figure 1). the upper adcp (s/n 7301) was installed upward-looking in a syntactic buoy at a nominal depth of 23m based on an overall water depth of 145m; the middle adcp (s/n 3725) was downward-looking in an open frame at a nominal depth of 36m; and the lower instrument (s/n 4015) was again upward-looking in a syntactic buoy at a nominal 54m.

通过对浮力张力系泊（如图1所示位置）上安装的三台泰德尼RDI工作马力的600kHz声学多普勒流速仪（ADCP）仪器进行的流速测量，推导出了湍流动能耗散率（ε）的估计值。位于上方的ADCP（序列号7301）被安装在合成浮标中，以145m的总水深为基准，在23m的名义深度进行向上观测；中间的ADCP（序列号3725）被安装在开放式框架中，以36m的名义深度进行向下观测；下方的仪器（序列号4015）再次被安装在合成浮标中，以54m的名义深度进行向上观测。
