ITP 124 Deployment
ITP 124 was the first ITP deployed during the JOIS 2021 cruise. Unable to find a sea ice floe that was thick enough it was decided to do an open water deployment to ensure appropriate ice station spacing.
More information and photos on the deployment operations are also available at: https://www2.whoi.edu/site/beaufortgyre/expeditions/2021-expedition/2021-dispatches/dispatch-12-chasing-ice/
