Conclusion
The sea level of the Laptev sea has strong seasonal variability. The amplitudes of the seasonal
changes of the sea level are 20-30cm.
The main reasons of seasonal changes of the sea level and water circulation in the Laptev sea
are significant variances of the atmospheric circulation and the three-dimensional density fields.
