Short summary
This is the first work on the internal seiches of the South Aral Sea, which is also of general interest as the lake is considered a paradigm for the lakes whose surface levels are decreasing. It is based on field data and numerical simulations. For autumn 2006 and 2013, the fundamental mode is discussed together with other modes which are found to be higher vertical modes. The importance of sea level variation on the development of higher horizontal modes is also discussed.
