Features of Seasonal and Interannual Variability of the Sea Level and Water Circulation in the Laptev Sea

  • Chapter
Land-Ocean Systems in the Siberian Arctic

Abstract

Water circulation and spatial structure of the surface level are up to the present time the least investigated processes in the physical oceanography of the Laptev Sea. Based on the analysis of the available sea level observations and the results of numerical modeling, estimations of the spatial-temporal variability of the surface level and water circulation of the Laptev Sea at seasonal and climatic time scales were obtained. Probable causes for the interannual variability of sea level and water circulation in the Laptev Sea are considered.
