Abstract

The present-day hydraulic response to runoff, flow pattern, and sediment transmission in a braided channel system on the river Glomma in southeastern Norway is treated by hydraulic geometry, transport mechanism, and statistical procedures. The river runs in mobile coarse sediments beneath a well-defined floodplain nivcau. On the downstream reaches, the parameter behavior distinguishing the braiding process is overshadowed by a backwater curve propagating upstream during a water rise. Bedforms are classified and the effects of drift ice discussed.
