Direct measurements of seabed stress are difficult, especially in field conditions. Several methods for estimating these stresses using current meter data are available. Two of these methods, the Inertial Dissipation Method and the Turbulent Kinetic Energy Method, are described below, and a Matlab program is used to analyse data from a wave‐current environment.
