Abstract
WINDERMERE is peculiar as regards seiches, since it is nearly divided in two by islands and shallow water near the middle. On account of this the two halves of the lake oscillate independently, but an oscillation can be detected which is due to the uninodal seiche of the whole lake. Because of the shallow water near the middle, this has only a small amplitude and a very long period (69·7m.), and is soon damped out.
