XXII.—The Temperature Seiche. Part I. Temperature Observations in the Madüsee, Pomerania. Part II. Hydrodynamical Theory of Temperature Oscillations in Lakes. Part III.

Extract

§ 1. A short description of some temperature observations in the Madüsee has been published in the Scottish Geographical Magazine for December 1910, and this communication aims at giving a more complete description of the observations with a first attempt at the mathematical discussion of oscillations at the surface of separation of two liquids in a basin of varying depth and cross-section.
