review text: The fluid motion in a strongly stratified lake can be described by a set of nonlinear dispersive partial differential equations derived from the equations of motion. These model equations are solved numerically by an implicit finite difference scheme. Variable topography and the influence of the free surface are taken into account as well as nonlinear and dispersive terms. In the case of wind forcing, the numerical solutions show the typical transition from barotropic to baroclinic motion.
