ITP 71 Recovery operations

The following year after deployment, ITP 71 (which had a failed profiler) was completely recovered. The recovery used the ship's A-frame to haul out the instrumentation after the icefloe containing the buoy had been strategically smashed and the system released into the open water.

More information and photos on the recovery operations are also available at: https://archives.whoi.edu/beaufortgyre/www.whoi.edu/page.do@pid=147717.html
