Dataset for "Lee-wave–driven near-field mixing: A dynamically constrained vertical scale c

This dataset contains vertical scale measurements of near-field mixing driven by lee waves, dynamically constrained by inertial currents. Collected between 2020 and 2022, it supports research on ocean mixing processes and parameterizations.

Use Cases

• Analyze vertical scale variability in lee-wave-driven mixing
• Validate dynamic constraint models for near-field mixing
• Study interactions between inertial currents and mixing efficiency

Strengths

• 50+ vertical profiles with high temporal resolution
• Direct measurements of inertial currents
• Dynamically constrained scaling enables process-oriented analysis

Limitations

• Geographic coverage limited to measurement campaign regions
• Vertical resolution decreases with depth
• Requires preprocessing for instrument calibration
