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. : This work was funded by NASA as part of the Salinity Processes in the Upper Ocean Regional Study (SPURS), supporting field work for SPURS-1 (NASA grant number NNX11AE84G), for SPURS-2 (NASA grant number NNX15AG20G), and for analysis (NASA grant number 80NSSC18K1494). Funding for early iterations of this project associated with the VOCALS project and Stratus 9 mooring was provided by NSF (Award numbers 0745508 and 0745442). The Stratus Ocean Reference Station is funded by the Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing Program of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (CPO FundRef number 100007298), through the Cooperative Institute for the North Atlantic Region (CINAR) under Cooperative Agreement NA14OAR4320158.
