The effect of water density on sea level

Oceanography
The salinity is 3-4 psu in the Bothnian Bay, 5-6 psu in the Sea of Bothnia, 6-9 psu in the Baltic Proper and 15-30 psu in the Skagerrak and Kattegat. Since fresh water is lighter, it takes more fresh water in the Baltic to balance the sea level outside – thus mean sea level in the Baltic is higher Last updated:
