The ITP was scheduled for a rapid sampling schedule of 3 one-way profiles between 7 and 760 m depth each day, but became progressively hampered by electronic and mechanical problems so that the profiler could not move from the bottom stop after 5 weeks. \u00a0The surface float seems to have been covered by ice at 87\u00b0N on December 31, 2007, when it continued to call in but was unable to acquire GPS locations until it resurfaced in the East Greenland Sea near 75\u00b0N in July 2008, then drifted into the Irminger Sea until March 2009 when it was removed to Iceland.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t ITP 17 Overview Deployment Location:\u00a09\/15\/2007, 3:04 UTC at 86\u00b0 1.8’N, 105\u00b0 4.6’E Last Location:\u00a06\/28\/2009, 20:00 UTC at 63\u00b0 38.3′ N, 20\u00b0 22.4′ W Duration:\u00a0653 days Distance Traveled:\u00a012,979 km Number of profiles:\u00a0235 in 36 days (454 attempted in 115 days) Other instruments:\u00a0none ITP17 was deployed on a 1.7 m thick icefloe in the Transpolar Drift from…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":83,"featured_media":0,"parent":871,"menu_order":17,"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\/1437"}],"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=1437"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/itp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1437\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3807,"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/itp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1437\/revisions\/3807"}],"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=1437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"The](\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/itp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/92\/2019\/08\/ITP_17_Deployment_017_259493.jpg\" "\\"ITP_17_Deployment_017_259493\\"")
