A short-period standing wave oscillation of the water level in a lake, characteristic of its geometry
<)))
A standing wave in a closed body of water such as a lake or bay It can be characterized as the sloshing of water in the enclosing basin Seiches can be produced by seismic waves from earthquakes The permanent tilting of lake basins caused by nearby fault motions has produced very energetic seiches
A periodic oscillation, or standing wave, in an enclosed water body the physical dimensions of which determine how frequently the water level changes
A wave that oscillates in lakes, bays, or gulfs from a few minutes to a few hours as a result of seismic or atmospheric disturbances
The oscillation of a body of water at its natural period Coastal observations of sea-level often show seiches with amplitudes of a few centimeters and periods of a few minutes due to oscillations of the local harbour, estuary or bay, superimposed on the normal tidal changes Seiches can also occur in lakes
This is a standing wave occurring in a port, harbour, bay or estuary where one end is open to the sea The height of the wave may be up to about 0 3 metres, with a period of 1 to 20 minutes (long, shallow stretches of water have a longer period) The frequency may vary with the height of tide, and the amplitude will vary with the weather conditions
an oscillation of a body of water in an enclosed or semi-enclosed basin, caused by local changes in atmospheric pressure, wind, tidal currents, and earthquakes
This is a natural process generated when wind blows in a constant direction and piles water up on a downwind shore When the wind drops, the water is released and flows back to the opposite shore For example, when a seiche moves towards the western shore of Lake Michigan or Green Bay, it acts as a dam, slowing the discharge of rivers and creeks into the lake or even forcing water to reverse course and move upstream (adopted from Manitowoc report, 1998) Seiches can be especially dramatic in funnel-shaped bays where great volumes of water are pushed into increasingly smaller areas This phenomenon is particularly important at sites such as Green Bay, Chequamegon Bay, and in the estuaries associated with the St Louis and Mink rivers
A resonant standing wave in an enclosed or semi-enclosed water body that continues to oscillate after the cessation of the originating force (that may have been seismic, atmospheric, tidal or wave-induced) This will appear to only move up and down
A resonant standing wave in an enclosed or semi-enclosed water body that continues to oscillate after the cessation of the originating force, which may have been seismic, atmospheric, tidal or wave induced
A stationary wave usually caused by strong winds and/or changes in barometric pressure It is found in lakes, semi-enclosed bodies of water, and in areas of the open ocean The period of a seiche in an enclosed rectangular body of water is usually represented by the formula
a wave on the surface of a lake or landlocked bay; caused by atmospheric or seismic disturbances
The sloshing of a closed body of water from earthquake shaking Swimming pools often have seiches during earthquakes
A free or standing wave oscillation of the surface of water in an enclosed basin that is initiated by local atmospheric changes, tidal currents, or earthquakes Similar to water sloshing in a bathtub
A short-period oscillation of the water in a lake, characteristic of its geometry
The free oscillation of the bulk of water in a lake and the motion caused by it on the surface of the lake (Bergsten, 1926, p 1 )
A free or standing-wave oscillation of the surface of water in an enclosed or semi-enclosed basin (as a lake, bay or harbor) It is generally caused by local changes in atmospheric pressure, aided by winds, tidal currents and small earthquakes
A stationary wave usually caused by strong winds and/or changes in barometric pressure It is found in lakes, semi enclosed bodies of water, and in areas of the open ocean The period of a seiche in an enclosed rectangular body of water is usually represented by the formula: Period (T) = 2L / square root(gd) in which L is the length, d the average depth of the body of water, and g the acceleration of gravity See standing wave
An oscillation of a fluid body in response to a disturbing force having the same frequency as the natural frequency of the fluid system Tides are now considered to be seiches induced primarily by the periodic forces caused by the sun and moon
{i} oscillation of the surface of a body of water (caused by changes in wind, atmospheric pressure, or seismic activity)
Seiches are lakewide displacements of water that are wind-induced Water pushed by the wind can pile up on shore causing noticeable increases in water depth When the wind is reduced the water mass continues to slosh back and forth like water in a bathtub
Standing wave oscillation in an effectively closed body of water (e g a harbour basin)
