Abstract

The Lena delta region of Laptev Sea serves as an indicator of climate changing. A large number of observed data in this region suggests a strong climate change and biological data for the last fifty years. Unfortunately we still have not fully answer about extent of the changes and their causes. One of the main task is lead out model, which will provide information about salinity, temperature, water elevation, sea ice fraction and ice flow, dynamic of fresh water distribution (Lena river) in a Laptev Sea. Based on this information we will try to estimate observation data and explain the changes in this region.
