D = ((4*l_B/(T_n*(1+2*(N))))^2)/[g]
This formula uses 1 Constants, 4 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Variables Used

Water Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Water Depth between the surface and the seafloor as measured at mean lower low water.
Length of the Basin - (Measured in Meter) - Length of the Basin is the longest dimension of a basin parallel to its principal drainage channel.
Natural Free Oscillating Period of a Basin - (Measured in Second) - Natural Free Oscillating Period of a Basin referred to as the natural period or resonant period, is the time it takes for a wave to travel from one end of the basin to the other and back again.
Number of Nodes along the Axis of a Basin - Number of Nodes along the Axis of a Basin refers to the count of specific points situated along central axis of basin, where basin axis represents the line of lowest elevation on the basin's surface.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Length of the Basin: 38.782 Meter --> 38.782 Meter No Conversion Required
Natural Free Oscillating Period of a Basin: 5.5 Second --> 5.5 Second No Conversion Required
Number of Nodes along the Axis of a Basin: 1.3 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D = ((4*l_B/(T_n*(1+2*(N))))^2)/[g] --> ((4*38.782/(5.5*(1+2*(1.3))))^2)/[g]

Evaluating ... ...

D = 6.25935135780944

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6.25935135780944 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

6.25935135780944 ≈ 6.259351 Meter <-- Water Depth

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).
