ITP101 was deployed on a 1.25 m thick ice floe in the Beaufort Sea on September 15, 2017 as part of the Beaufort Gyre Observing System (BGOS) during the JOIS 2017 cruise on the CCGS Louis S. St. Laurent. On the same icefloe, a US Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) Seasonal Ice Mass Balance Buoy 3 was also installed. The ITP included a dissolved oxygen sensor and operated on a standard sampling schedule of 2 one-way profiles between 7 and 760 m depth each da
The following year, the surface package and partial tether were recovered during JOIS 2018.
