ITP13 was deployed on August 13, 2007 on a 3.10 m thick ice floe in the Beaufort Sea at 78° 01 N, 149° 12 W as part of the Beaufort Gyre Observing System (BGOS) during the JOIS 2007 cruise on the CCGS Louis S. St. Laurent. On the same icefloe, a US Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) Ice Mass Balance Buoy (IMB 30197) and a Naval Postgraduate School Arctic Ocean Flux Buoy (AOFB) were also installed. The ITP includes a dissolved oxygen sensor and is operating on a standard sampling schedule of 2 one-way profiles between 7 and 760 m depth each day.
