ITP107 was deployed on a 0.8 m thick ice floe in the Beaufort Sea on September 17, 2018 as part of the Beaufort Gyre Observing System (BGOS) during the JOIS 2018 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 day and included a fixed SAMI PCO2 with PAR and SBE-37 microcat with dissolved oxygen at 6 m depth.
The following year, the entire ITP with profiler was recovered during JOIS 2019.
