Abstract
During the summer of 1994 a satellite-tracked drifter transited from t he southeastern Bering Sea slope through Bering Strait by a route west ward along the slope and then northward through Anadyr Canyon and Stra it. The trajectory emphasizes the importance of a western location of northward flow on the Bering Sea shelf. The transit time was 2 months from Cape Navarin to Bering Strait with northward drift velocities of 5-40 cm/s.
