Mystery of the Seiche
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
People who live on the shores of Lake Michigan are more or less
|
||
|
|
familiar with seiches and have been led to believe that the seiche
|
||
|
|
is caused by a change in air pressure.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To persons living elsewhere, let us explain that during a seiche
|
||
|
|
(pronounced saysh) the water levels along the lake shore change
|
||
|
|
rapidly and markedly. This past spring, the water in Belmont
|
||
|
|
Harbor, Chicago, rose three feet, then dropped 9 1/2 feet, exposing
|
||
|
|
the bottom - all within a few minutes. In 1954 the water suddenly
|
||
|
|
rose 10 feet in Montrose Harbor, Chicago, and drowned eight people.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The seiche comes without warning; it generally cannot be seen
|
||
|
|
approaching. It is not a tidal wave and often is no wave at all.
|
||
|
|
It has been likened to water sloshing back and forth in a lake.
|
||
|
|
Furthermore, it occurs only in a few places in the world - the Great
|
||
|
|
Lakes, Lake Geneva, Loch Earn in Scotland and Lake Vattern in
|
||
|
|
Sweden.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With all the glib explanation though, we want to tell you something.
|
||
|
|
No one really understands what makes a seiche; in fact no one is
|
||
|
|
even sure just where the name comes from.
