XXII.—The Temperature Seiche. Part I. Temperature Observations in the Madüsee, Pomerania. Part II. Hydrodynamical Theory of Temperature Oscillations in Lakes. Part III. Calculation of the Period of the Temperature Seiche in the Madüsee. Part IV. Experimental Verification of the Hydrodynamical Theory of Temperature Seiches

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.
