to increase comprising 200-220 cm for the stations Andrey Island, Island Kotelniy, Sannikov
Strait, and 250-300 cm for the stations Preobragenia Island and Kosistiy Cape_ Whereas the
absolute maximum value for the stations of the first group varies from + I 00 cm to + 120 cm and
of the minimum from -90 cm to -100 cm, these values comprise from + 130 cm to + 160 cm
and from -130 to -140 cm for the second group, respectively.
A characteristic feature of the regime of the extreme level oscillations in the Laptev Sea is
