Experiments to observe the surface oscillation of cryogenic liquids have been performed with liquid nitrogen inside a 50 mm diameter right circular cylinder. The surface oscillation is driven by the capillary force that becomes dominant after a sudden reduction of the gravity acceleration acting on the liquid. The experiments show differences from the speculated behavior and enables one to observe new features. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
