What is Seiches?

Seiches are standing waves or oscillations of the free surface of a body of water in a closed or semiclosed basin. These oscillations are of relatively long period, extending from minutes in harbors and bays to over 10 hr in the Great Lakes. Any external perturbation to the lake or embayment can force an oscillation. In harbors, the forcing can be the result of short waves and wave groups at the harbor entrance. Examples include 30- to 400-sec wave-forced oscillations in the Los Angeles-Long Beach harbor (Seabergh 1985).
