a complimentary array of current generators disposed within said wave pool; and a processor operable to receive data relating to currents within said wave pool from said array of flow meters, wherein said processor is operable to control currents generated by said array of current generators in response to said data relating to currents within said wave pool received from said array of flow meters ## Claims ### Claim 1 A wave pool comprising: a channel section; a gradient section associated with the channel section; one or more flow generators disposed within the wave pool, wherein the one or more flow generators are configured to generate a fluid flow within the wave pool; one or more flow meters disposed along the gradient section, wherein the one or more flow meters are configured to sense the fluid flow within the wave pool; and a controller configured to receive information indicative of the fluid flow in the wave pool from the one or more flow meters, and cause the one or more flow generators to modify the fluid flow based on the information. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The wave pool of claim 1, wherein the gradient section comprises a shallower section compared to the channel section, and wherein the one or more flow meters are disposed along a surface of the gradient section. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The wave pool of claim 1, comprises a second set of one or more flow meters, wherein the second set of one or more flow meters are disposed on a floor of the channel section. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The wave pool of claim 3, wherein the second set of one or more flow meters are disposed at varying depths within the channel section. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The wave pool of claim 1, wherein the one or more flow generators are disposed across a surface of the gradient section. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The wave pool of claim 5, wherein the one or more flow generators are disposed on a floor of the channel section. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The wave pool of claim 1, wherein the one or more flow generators are disposed at varying depths within the channel section. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The wave pool of claim 1, wherein the one or more flow meters comprise turbine flow meters, Doppler flow meters, laser flow meters, or a combination thereof. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The wave pool of claim 1, wherein the one or more flow generators comprise an array of jets. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The wave pool of claim 9, wherein at least some of the jets are adapted to be positionable according to signals from the controller. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The wave pool of claim 10, wherein at least a portion of the jets are adapted to be positionable over at least 45 degrees about a Z-axis and at least 45 degrees about an X-Y axis that is perpendicular to the Z-axis. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The wave pool of claim 10, wherein at least a portion of the jets are adapted to be positionable over at least 90 degrees about a Z-axis and at least 90 degrees about an X-Y axis that is perpendicular to the Z-axis. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The wave pool of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to receive the information indicative of the fluid flow in the wave pool, and generate a current velocity profile corresponding to at least a portion of the wave pool. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The wave pool of claim 13, wherein the controller is configured to cause one or more flow generators to generate a corresponding negative current velocity profile within the portion of the wave pool, thereby negating currents within the portion of the wave pool. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The wave pool of claim 13, wherein the controller is configured to cause the one or more flow generators to generate a complimentary current velocity profile that modifies waves formed within the wave pool.
