Abstract: The paper analysis data collected from four Argos positioned buoys deployed on the drift ice mid-April 1998 in the Pechora Sea. The buoys transmitted their position for about 75 days. The collected position data are used to estimate the speed of the drift ice during this period. The distribution of speed fits a 2·pararneter Weibull distribution with 0 ~ 0.212913 and r~ 1.40610. Based on this distribution the one year and 10 years return period speed values are estimated to 1.16 mls and 1.33 mis, respectively. The validity of the data is discussed.
