| 260 | The tank was rotated with a rate of 0.167 rad/s (1.6 rpm) in the counter-clockwise direction, which corresponds to a Rossby number of +0.5. Two experiments were conducted. |
| 261 | |
| 262 | Experiment name: rotstr1_0610a and rotapex2_0610b. File names: rotstr1_0610a, rotapex2_0610b. |

| 264 | rotstr1_0610a: The total experiment time was 36 mins. Inflow rate started with 10.97 L/s and then was decreased to 5.75 L/s until it reached a constant level. The water was dirty so no PIV measurements were conducted. Density excess and temperature were 20 kg/m^3^ and 22.7°C, respectively. ADV data was collected at the straight section (Position X1 - 75% down straight section, 58 cm upstream from the end of the straight section) from 15 to 25 min after the flow rate became constant. 7 sets of siphon samples were collected at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 minutes after the start of the experiment, with a duration of 1 minute. Cross stream UVP collected data from 5 to 15 minutes and down-stream UVP collected data from 25 to 35 minutes. |

| 266 | rotapex2_0610b: The total experiment was 30 minutes. Temperature and density excess were 22.4°C and 19.8 kg/m^3^, respectively. Inflow rate started with 10.8 L/s and then was decreased to 5.9 L/s until it reached a constant level. ADV measurements were collected from 15 to 35 minutes after the start of the experiment at the second apex (Position X4). |
