The second volume of “Physics of Lakes,” subtitled “Lakes as Oscillators,” focuses on barotropic and baroclinic waves in homogeneous and stratified lakes on a rotating Earth. Spanning 12 chapters, it begins with an exploration of rotating shallow-water waves, classifying them into gravity and Rossby waves in various water bodies. The discussion extends to gravity waves in bounded domains of constant depth, covering Kelvin, Poincaré, and Sverdrup waves, as well as their reflections in gulfs and rectangles, and their behavior in sealed basins as barotropic ‘inertial waves proper.’ The application to gravity waves in circular and elliptical basins leads to a description of Kelvin-type and Poincaré-type waves, addressing basins of arbitrary geometry. The text also examines two-, three-, and n-layer fluids with sharp interfaces, detailing higher-order baroclinic gravity waves, supported by experimental evidence from locations such as Lake Lugano, Lake Banyoles, and Lake Biwa. It highlights the need for careful interpretation of data and computational outputs in complex geometries, particularly in Lake Onega. A summer field campaign in Lake Lugano emphasizes the importance of statistical analyses to align data with computational results. The work includes three chapters on topographic Rossby waves, identifying conditions under which baroclinicity has minimal impact and categorizing these waves into channel modes, Ball modes, and bay
