The paper presents a description of observations of near-surface currents and water temperature at the surface, made in the Barents Sea and in the south-western part of the Kara Sea with the help of satellite tracked drifting buoys -drifters. This information should be taken into account when planning further drifter observations in the considered area. For the southwestern region of the Barents Sea -the most covered by drifter observations -the intra-annual variations of the averaged velocity m
