Intermediate data products for: Moored Turbulence Measurements using Pulse-Coherent Doppler Sonar (Zippel et al. 2021, Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology)

This repository contains some of the intermediate data products needed to reproduce the results in the Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology article "Moored Turbulence Measurements using Pulse-Coherent Doppler Sonar" by S.F. Zippel, J. T. Farrar, C. J. Zappa, U. Miller, L. St. Laurent, T. Ijichi, R. A. Weller, L. McRaven, S. Nylund, and D. Le Bel. Specifically, this material should allow reproduction of Figures 3, 5-7, 12 and 13. Reproduction of Figures 8-11 also requires data from associated glider deployments nearr the SPURS-1 mooring, which may be requested from co-author L. St. Laurent.

Code to do the analysis and make the plots is here: https://github.com/zippelsf/MooredTurbulenceMeasurements

Matlab data files:

(1) 677404_burst1865.mat

Single-burst data used for the example spectral fit in Figure 7. The burst was collected during the SPURS-1 project at 21.5m depth. The data collection and processing methods are described in detail in Section 2. 

(2) 811604_burst0510.mat (Single-burst data used in the unwrapping example, Figure 5)

(3) 8116_dissipation_timeseries.mat (Used for associated ancillary data in Figure 6)

(4) 913411_burst2879.mat (Single-burst data, used for ancillary data to make Figure 3).

(5) BuoyancyFlux_b.mat

Ocean buoyancy flux estimates for SPURS-2 dataset, created from the 1-hr "met" and "flux" files available on the UOP website, and using the Gibbs SeaWater (GSW) toolbox to estimate "alpha" and "beta". The estimated buoyancy fluxes were used for Figure 12.

(6) BuoyancyFlux_c.mat

Ocean buoyancy flux estimates for SPURS-1 dataset, created from the 1-hr "met" and "flux" files available on the UOP website, and using the Gibbs SeaWater (GSW) toolbox to estimate "alpha" and "beta". The estimated buoyancy fluxes were used for Figure 12.

(7) SPURS1_dissipation_grid_v1d.mat

Gridded TKE dissipation rates for SPURS-1 dataset. Processing of these data is described extensively in Section 2. Data used in Figures 8-13. Dissipation rates also available on NASA's PODAAC.

(8) spurs1_met_1hr.mat (Processed met data from SPURS-1 mooring. Also available on WHOI's UOP website.)

(9) SPURS2_dissipation_grid_v1c.mat

Gridded TKE dissipation rates for SPURS-2 dataset. Processing of these data is described extensively in Section 2. Data used in Figures 12. Dissipation rates also available on NASA's PODAAC.
