Correction to “Feedback between bed load and flow resistance in gravel and cobble bed rivers”

Abstract

[1] In the paper “Feedback between bed load and flow resistance in gravel and cobble bed rivers” by A. Recking et al. (Water Resources Research, 44, W05412, doi:10.1029/2007WR006219, 2008), in section 5.1, paragraph 41, “increasing relative depth” should have been indicated. Corrected text appears here: The most interesting result that should be considered here is that the turbulence intensity of the roughness layer was observed to increase with increasing relative depth [Bayazit, 1976; Wang et al., 1993; Dittrich and Koll, 1997; Carollo et al., 2005; Tsujimoto, 1991]. This can be explained because the wake's frequency and size depend on the mean flow velocity [Nowell and Church, 1979], which is increased with increasing relative depth, and are controlled in the upper part by the turbulent mixing of the logarithmic zone [O'Loughlin and Annambhotla, 1969], whose importance is also assumed to decrease with decreasing relative depth [Nikora et al., 2001].
