Note générale :	A newly discovered special stratification effect caused supersaturation of waters with carbon dioxide near the surface layer in lake Nyos in Cameroon. Strong oscillations of the stratified waters induced by exsolving gas bubbles led to the disastrous gas burst, wich released around 150-200 millions m/cube of the toxic gas. This event demonstrated the need for preventive research on gassy lakes.
