We extract observations of NIWs from data collected for the Ocean Surface Mixing, Ocean Submesoscale Interaction Study (OSMOSIS; Buckingham et al. 2016) As part of the study, measurements were taken from nine moorings anchored over the Porcupine Abyssal Plain from September 2012 to September 2013. Over the course of the year, there were several times where the mooring experienced knockdown by up to 200 m (Callies et al 2020). We flag these events if the knockdown is more than 10 m when averaged with a 1-day running mean.
