published in British Journal of applied Physics 12,329(1961) the following:

"Sea level changes from place to place as well as time to time.  The
main factors are differences of temperature, density, atmospheric
pressure, wind, currents and waves.  The well-known difference between
the two ends of the Panama Canal may be largely due to differences
of density.  In the rainy season which affects the Gulf of Panama
mean sea level is 30 cm higher at the Pacific end than in the more
saline Atlantic water.  In dry season the difference of level is very
small."
