In this short communication the four estimate criteria of the depth‐averaged local velocity proposed by Byrd et al. ( Earth Surface Processes and Landforms , 2000, Vol. 25, pp. 167–173) are compared both with the three‐point method of Bathurst and with the average velocity obtained by integrating the velocity profile (FPa2) suggested by Ferro and Pecoraro ( Water Resources Research , 2000, Vol. 36, pp. 2761–2770). The comparison was carried out using 84 velocity profiles measured by an acoustic Doppler velocimeter in a rectangular flume with a gravel bed. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
