The ITP operated on a rapid sampling schedule of 3 one-way profiles between 7 and 760 m depth each day for nearly 4 months (365 profiles) until the mooring encountered bottom along the shallowest part of the Lomonsov Ridge north of Ellesmere Island. Afterwards the buoy was driven over the shelf, so that the profiler was largely unable to profile, except down to around 500 m for several days in February (15 profiles) and over a ten day period in mid-March (22 profiles) in the Lincoln Sea.\u00a0 The profiler ceased communicating on April 3, 2008 but the buoy persisted north of the Sverdrup Islands more than 2 years longer.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t ITP16 Overview Deployment Location:\u00a09\/2\/2007, 23:00 UTC at 87\u00b0 50.3’N, 169\u00b0 48.2’W Last Location:\u00a0\u00a09\/5\/2010, 23:01 UTC at 80\u00b0 14.8′ N, 104\u00b0 51.2′ W Duration:\u00a01099 days Distance Traveled: 3736 km Number of profiles:\u00a0643 in 213 days Other instruments:\u00a0Ice Beacon (Meteorological) ITP16 was deployed from the German icebreaker\u00a0Polarstern\u00a0as part of the European Union\u00a0DAMOCLES\u00a0Program on an approximately 2 m…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":83,"featured_media":0,"parent":871,"menu_order":16,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"tpl-sidebar.php","meta":{"advanced-sidebar-menu\/link-title":"","advanced-sidebar-menu\/exclude-page":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/itp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1411"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/itp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/itp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/itp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/itp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1411"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/itp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1411\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3806,"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/itp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1411\/revisions\/3806"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/itp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/871"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/itp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1411"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
