ITP 15 Recovery Operations<\/h1>\r\n\t

On November 5, 2007, less than 2 months (and only 165 profiles) after deployment, data stopped being received from ITP 15 surface package.\u00a0 Surprisingly, data transmission resumed on June 17, 2010 — over 2.5 years later!\u00a0 It took over 3 weeks to transmit the backlog of files stored in its buffer which included profile attempts up to 1305.\u00a0 These data ultimately provided an additional 5 times more valid profiles to those received prior to resurfacing.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the record also revealed that the mooring tether apparently dragged several times over shallow bathymetry, eventually dragging the profiler completely off on the continental shelf at the mouth of Nares Strait.<\/p>\r\n

Upon the buoy resurfacing, GPS positioning resumed showing that the package was located on the east coast of Ellsmere Island near Griese Fiord.\u00a0 Over the next couple of months, it drifted south and crossed Lancaster Sound nestling with the ice up against northern Baffin Island near Pond Inlet before being recovered by the\u00a0CCGS Des Groseilliers<\/em>\u00a0in bergy water on August 14, 2010.\u00a0 Using the latest GPS locations broadcast by the surface package, it took only about 10 minutes of search time to locate it and 2 hours to recover the buoy and nearly 800 meters of wire which was still attached.\u00a0 Our thanks are extended to the Canadian Coast Guard Regional Operations Center as well as the Captain, officers, and crew of the\u00a0Des Grosseilliers<\/em>for their recovery support.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\"ITP\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\tITP 15 surface package after recovery by the CCGS Des Groseilliers in Baffin Bay three years after being deployed in the Arctic Basin. Note the crack that circumscribes the middle of the foam which was likely caused by ice ridging or compression amongst the bergy bits.
