USNA-Cn2 (short-duration) (Unites States Naval Academy Short-duration Optical Turbulence Dataset)
The USNA long-term scintillation study is a continuing effort to characterize and measure optical turbulence in the near-maritime boundary layer.
Summary
The field campaign utilized a ScinTec BLS450 scintillometer to characterize the strength of optical turbulence over a link approximately 3 [m] above the river’s surface between January 1\textsuperscript{st}, 2020, and July 26\textsuperscript{th}, 2023. This field campaign included a range of meteorological and oceanographic measurements from nearby NOAA, National Data Buoy Center (NDBC), and Academy weather stations.
The short-duration dataset includes measured Cₙ² along with atmospheric and oceanographic parameters from a co-located NOAA COOPS observation station between June 1\textsuperscript{st}, 2021, and September 1\textsuperscript{st}, 2021.

1 shown of 1 paper with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 1. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
