Correction to "A general power equation for predicting bed load transport rates in gravel bed rivers"

Abstract

In the paper "A general power equation for predicting bed load transport rates in gravel bed rivers" by Jeffrey J. Barry et al. (Water Resources Research, 40, W10401, doi:10.1029/2004WR003190, 2004), the y axis for Figures 5 and 10 was incorrectly labeled and should have read "log10 (predicted transport) - log10 (observed transport)." In addition, flow depth (D) is incorrectly shown in the denominator of equation (A9) of Barry et al. [2004] and should be replaced by di, the mean particle diameter for the ith size class as shown. [2] Similarly, equation (A24) of Barry et al. [2004] incorrectly includes the modal grain size from the subsurface material (dmss) which should be replaced with dmqb, the modal grain size of a given bed load transport observation.
