Abstract

The seiches of Lake Constance and their possible exciting mechanisms were studied. The fundamental oscillation with a period of 55.6 minutes and other modes were observed at several stations. The dependance of the oscillation period on the water level is proved. By a model calculation it is shown what amplitudes can be excited by a wavelike air pressure disturbance which travels over the lake.
