ITP108 was deployed on a 0.5 m thick ice floe in the Beaufort Sea on September 16, 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 includes a dissolved oxygen sensor and is operating on a standard sampling schedule of 2 one-way profiles between 7 and 760 m depth each day.
The following year, the entire ITP with profiler was recovered during JOIS 2019.
