In this article, a non-local nonlinear equation relating the pressure and the surface elevation was derived from the Euler formulation of the water-wave problem without approximation, and a variety of different asymptotic formulas were derived from this new equation.
Abstract
A new method is proposed to recover the water-wave surface elevation from pressure data obtained at the bottom of the fluid. The new method requires the numerical solution of a nonlocal nonlinear equation relating the pressure and the surface elevation which is obtained from the Euler formulation of the water-wave problem without approximation. From this new equation, a variety of different asymptotic formulas are derived. The nonlocal equation and the asymptotic formulas are compared with both numerical data and physical experiments. The solvability properties of the nonlocal equation are rigorously analyzed using the Implicit Function Theorem.

New exact relations for easy recovery of steady wave profiles from bottom pressure measurements.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a surface reconstruction procedure that does not involve the resolution of a differential or an integral equation, i.e. the surface is given by algebraic local relations, which permits the free surface recovery in a simpler and more efficient way than previous methods.
