A description of all available automatic devices that have constructed to carry out contact measurements of ice and ocean characteristics from drifting sea ice at low air temperatures is given. All the devices under consideration work according to the programmed schedules, transmit the results of measurements to the coastal centers in real time, have GPS navigation. The devices are manufactured individually or in limited batches and are not prototypes or operating models. In addition, all these types of devices have already made successful measurements in the Arctic for a year or more. The description of the devices is given not only according to information from the specialized literature, but also on the basis of the author’s many years of personal experience in working with this observational technique in the Arctic basin.
