ITP20 was deployed on August 8, 2008 on a 3.4 m thick ice floe in the Beaufort Sea at 77° 59.2 N, 139° 56.1 W as part of the Beaufort Gyre Observing System (BGOS) during the JOIS 2008 cruise on the CCGS Louis S. St. Laurent. On the same icefloe,a Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) Ice Mass Balance Array (SIMBA B), a Naval Postgraduate School Arctic Ocean Flux Buoy (AOFB 16), and a US Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) Ice Mass Balance Buoy (IMB 29557) were also installed. The ITP includes a dissolved oxygen and bio-optical (PAR, turbidity, fluorescence and CDOM) sensors and will operate on a pattern sampling schedule of 2 deep (between 7 and 760 m) and 6 shallow (between 7 and 175 m) one-way profiles each day during summer months, and 2 deep one way profiles per day during winter months.
