Abstract

The problem of linear baroclinic seiches in rectangular basin is considered. It is supposed that density is stratified into three layers. Internal waves are not taken into account. It is shown that one-dimensional model allows one to determine the positions of thermocline and halocline. The model also allows one to determine the values of temperature and salinity in the surface and bottom layers with satisfactory accuracy. Fluctuations of temperature and salinity in pycnocline are estimated by calculating parameters of baroclinic seiches. The results of calculations and measurements in Lake Shira are compared
