Abstract

Danish Journal of Geography 95: 12–18, 1995. A simple model for current speed in tidal channels is presented and tested in a tidal channel in the Danish Wadden Sea. The model is based on the continuity equation with water level as the only time dependant input parameter. The model can be used as a tool for extending and/or completing current speed time series in tidal channels. In four test periods the model proved to be able to explain over 95% of the current speed variation during periods with “normal” wind conditions, and 91% of the variation during a tested storm surge period.
