Description:Estimates of bottom stress in a tidal estuary have been made by two independent means. Net energy budget calculations provided estimates of rates of tidal energy dissipation which can be interpreted in terms of an area averaged bottom stress (energy dissipation method). A second independent estimate of an area averaged bottom stress was made using the long-wave momentum and continuity equations and estimates of sea surface slope and current acceleration (dynamic inference method).
