The bed material at this gaging station has a D50 of 0.33 mm and a D65 of 0.45 mm and a gradation
coefficient G of 3.27. If the value of D65 is used for ks, then for yo = 3.90 m (the maximum depth)

and for yo = .335 m (the smallest non-zero depth)

Using a mean yo/ks of approximately 5,000, then from Figure 2.12 the average values for the energy
and momentum coefficients are:
α' = 1.024
and
β' = 1.008
