Abstract: | A study is made of the parametric excitation of internal waves in a continuously stratified liquid in a vessel executing oscillations in the vertical direction. It is shown that vertical oscillations of the vessel will excite oscillatory modes with eigenfrequencies equal to half of the oscillation frequency of the vessel.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 5, pp. 167–169, September–October, 1982.I thank S.
