This dataset contains the processed experimental results presented in the journal article: "The relationship between surface features and sub-surface turbulence: simulations and experiments". The experiments were done in a glass tank with submerged pumps that produced horizontal jets to generate the turbulence. Two forcing regimes of the pumps were tested in the study. The data comprises simultaneous measurements of surface elevation using Fourier Transform Profilometry (FTP) and the velocity field in horizontal planes beneath the surface using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). More details on the experimental procedure are found in the mentioned manuscript. The experiment encompassed two cases: Case A, with stronger forcing, and Case B, with weaker forcing. For both cases, 4 horizontal depths were investigated. The datasets contain all depths in binary NetCDF files, as well as one ensemble from the horizontal slice closest to the surface as tabulated text files. The archive also contains the same readme file explaining the storage setup, as well as a sample code to load the data.
