Mean instantaneous larval and local flow velocities used to construct distributions of larval swimming velocities collected at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in 2011 (Larvae in turbulence project)

Expand/Collapse All

Description

Mean vertical velocities (of both individual larvae and local flow) used to construct distributions of observed larval velocity, local flow velocity, and larval swimming velocities, as described in Wheeler et al. 2013. Velocities are recorded in three forcing regimes, 0 Hz, 0.75 Hz, and 1.75 Hz. PIV recordings by Wheeler in Summer 2012.

Data Processing Description

PIV velocity vectors extracted from raw images using DaVis image processing software, as described in Wheeler et al. 2013. PIV velocity vectors are isolated near larvae and used to subtract out local flow near larvae to identify larval velocities, as described in Wheeler et al. 2013.
