The positioning of a drifting ice floe was recorded every 10 minutes during a six‐day period by means of a Decca navigational system and by direct wind observations on the floe. The observations showed that the ice floe took part in the tidal regime. Maximum correlation between wind and residual ice drift speeds (tidal effect eliminated) was achieved in less than 2 hours.
