Kersten 2. Isidor Storchcneggcr 3 <br /> <br />Abstract <br /> <br />.. In this paper we pre~enl an approach to estimate extreme roughness in torrents <br />based o~ the tnmsfonnatl~n of. an Irregular bed geometry of a torrent reach into it <br />gcnmclncally wel.1 delennmed 'J~alized' channel. One ha.'iic parameter is the surface <br />uf the. waler, which wa~ determmed by a phologrammctric method using stereo <br />photos on the ~nalYllcal Ploner WILD ACI. Two torrent segments were <br />rh~tographed With two syn~hronized Rollci 6006 metric camerdS, which were <br />IDst~~led ~boye the torrent while t.he mean wl~ily was .simultaneously measured by <br />Ihe sah.dllullo~ melhod., The Strickler coeffiCients derived from our studies at two. <br />torrcnt reaches m the SWISS Alps are also given in this paper. <br /> <br />I.
