The good ice was 70 miles north (according to the ice pilot) which was too far away for the ship to get to and keep on schedule for the cruise.\u00a0 Consequently, it was decided to deploy the ITP in open water.<\/p>\r\n<p>Several days after performing other science operations and steaming westward for another 15 miles to get into deeper water so that the ITP tether would not drag on the shelf, the deployment site was decided on.<\/p>\r\n<p>ITP90 was launched off the starboard bow, using the large ship&#8217;s small crane plus tie-downs at the rail (weather conditions prevented using the massive cargo crane during high winds).\u00a0 Operating in darkness, the operation proceeded smoothly and after a bit more than a hour after putting the anchor over the side, the ITP surface buoy was released with a (minor) splash, and quickly drifted away into the dark.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/itp\/data\/completed-missions\/itp90-overview\/itp90-data-processing\/\">Data Processing<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/itp\/data\/completed-missions\/itp90-overview\/itp90-final-data\/\">Final data<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/itp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/92\/2024\/03\/IMG_1055.jpg\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IMG_1055\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/itp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/92\/2024\/03\/IMG_1055.jpg\" alt=\"Jim Dunn ensures that the ITP tether wire is paying out properly over the side of the ship using a block suspended from the crane.
