Wind forcing of internal waves in long narrow stratified lakes / by C. Stevens, G. Lawrence, P. Hamblin.: En13-5/94-05E-PDF
"An analysis of wind and thermistor chain data from a long, narrow stratified lake is provided. It is apparent that the forcing is very sporadic relative to the likely response frequencies. A vertically integrated approach provides results that differ in some respects from inferences based on data from specific depths. This leads to the observation of horizontal mode two internal waves and in one instance, over a two month period, it is possible to infer potential energy losses of up to 60% from the energy observed in the first peak tilt after the wind event to the peak a single wave period later"--Abstract, page 1.
