ITP 74 Deployment operations
The deployment for ITP 74 was rather straight-forward. This profiler is a CTD only, and no SAMIs or other additional instruments were added. The floe was small and rafted in places and the work was conducted quite close to the ship but the deployment went well with no major issues. It was, however, very late in the day and as the worksite was grew dark a flashlight was needed complete the ITP deployment.
