Variable physical drivers of near-surface turbulence in a regulated river
This dataset is used to analyze the drivers of near-surface turbulence in large rivers. The data were collected during the measurement campaign conducted at the River Kitinen in Northern Finland (67.3665º N, 26.6230º E) in the summer of 2018. At the study site, the river is 181 m wide, and its flow...
