FYI....
....standing wave @ 1cycle per 45 seconds.

That's kind of a cool story, thought it does teeter on the edge of climate change stuff. Climate change stuff is frowned upon here.
Skip.......as a layperson, what I found particularly fascinating about the content, was not regarding climate change, but rather, a), how a geo-physical standing wave was generated, 2), that the [fjord] basin was an excellent (?) vessel to, c), extend the wave pattern sustain for 9 days, and d), to have produced an audible (mHZ) sound.
Without any significant education in physics, certainly not re geo-physics, in some way this information can, and likely will, factor into my theoretical understanding of sound energy transmission etc., applicable to instrument set-up nuances.
.....point of view probably not shared by many folks - but rather, an acquired taste and curiosity.

I agree. It IS a fascinating item! Like you, I'm largely ignorant of the physics involved; I have grown intrigued by the seiche phenomenon since learning of it a few years ago. I merely pointed out the climate change aspect because the article made heavy mention of it. Sometimes that kinda thing goes of the rails here and causes the thread to be locked.
