The experimental set-up allows laboratory comparison of measurement from these two instruments. Simultaneous multi-point measurements of velocity along the horizontal tank profile from Single-Beam Acoustic Doppler Profiler (SB-ADP) were compared against multiple co-located point measurements from an ADV. Measurements were performed in the FloWave Ocean Energy Research Facility at the University of Edinburgh at flow velocities between 0.6 ms      \u2212 1      and 1.2 ms      \u2212 1     . This paper describes the data; the analysis of the inter-instrument comparison is presented in an associated Sensors paper by the same authors. This data-set contains (a) time series of raw SB-ADP uni-directional velocity measurements along a 10 m tank profile binned into 54 measurements cells and (b) ADV point measurements of three-directional velocity time series recorded in beam coordinates at selected locations along the profile. Associated with the data are instrument generated quality data, metadata and user-derived quality flags. An analysis of the quality of SB-ADP data along the profile is presented. This data-set provides multiple contemporaneous velocity measurements along the tank profile, relevant for correlation statistics, length-scale calculations and validation of numerical models simulating flow hydrodynamics in circular test facilities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/data5030061","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,14]],"date-time":"2020-07-14T04:46:01Z","timestamp":1594701961000},"page":"61","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Single-Beam Acoustic Doppler Profiler and Co-Located Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter Flow Velocity Data"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"5","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8506-721X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marilou","family":"Jourdain de Thieulloy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering, Institute for Energy Systems, The University of Edinburgh, Max Born Crescent, Edinburgh EH9 3BF, UK"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7010-4022","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mairi","family":"Dorward","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering, Institute for Energy Systems, The University of Edinburgh, Max Born Crescent, Edinburgh EH9 3BF, UK"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1611-4913","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chris","family":"Old","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering, Institute for Energy Systems, The University of Edinburgh, Max Born Crescent, Edinburgh EH9 3BF, UK"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9701-879X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roman","family":"Gabl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering, Institute for Energy Systems, FloWave Ocean Energy Research Facility, The University of Edinburgh, Max Born Crescent, Edinburgh EH9 3BF, UK"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3298-1873","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas","family":"Davey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering, Institute for Energy Systems, FloWave Ocean Energy Research Facility, The University of Edinburgh, Max Born Crescent, Edinburgh EH9 3BF, UK"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8669-8942","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David M.","family":"Ingram","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering, Institute for Energy Systems, FloWave Ocean Energy Research Facility, The University of Edinburgh, Max Born Crescent, Edinburgh EH9 3BF, UK"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1683-0730","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Brian G.","family":"Sellar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering, Institute for Energy Systems, The University of Edinburgh, Max Born Crescent, Edinburgh EH9 3BF, UK"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"498","DOI":"10.1049\/iet-rpg.2009.0205","article-title":"Experimental characterisation of flow effects on marine current turbine behaviour and on its wake properties","volume":"4","author":"Maganga","year":"2010","journal-title":"IET Renew.
