ITP89 was deployed on a 0.5 m thick ice floe in the Beaufort Sea on October 2, 2015 as part of the Beaufort Gyre Observing System (BGOS) during the JOIS 2015 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 , a Naval Postgraduate School Arctic Ocean Flux Buoy (AOFB), and an autonomous atmospheric chemistry buoy (O-Buoy) were 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.
