Analysis of simultaneous current and pressure observations in the Burlington ship canal / T.J. Simons and W.M. Schertzer.: En13-5/83-20E-PDF
"A feasibility experiment was carried out in the Burlington Ship Canal to demonstrate the capability of measuring the horizontal pressure difference between two points separated by a few hundred meters as related to the water currents. Measurements were carried out successfully of about two months. Coincident measurement by current meters gave comparative information for evaluation of the calculated values using the pressure measurements. Statistical comparison of these data indicate a high correlation and provide a validation of the experimental methods. Application of a one-dimensional model to predict the currents from lake levels and winds show some departure from the measured values"--Exec. summary.
