Sentences with SEICHE (5)
The last subject discussed by the author is that of the rhythmical variations of level, or "seiches," of deep lakes; he applies the usual formula to Lake Tahoe, and calculates from it the length of a complete longitudinal and of a transverse "seiche;" these are found to be eighteen or nineteen minutes in the first case and thirteen minutes in the second.
The inhabitants of the shores of the Lake of Geneva have long designated this rhythmical oscillation of the level of the water by the term of _Seiche_; and this designation has been adopted by scientific writers.

Lors vient une ondÈe legiere, Qui les boute ‡ la rive arriere Et les remet ‡ terre seiche, Dont tout li cuers lor art et seiche.
