ITP23 was deployed on August 5, 2008 on a 1.9 m thick ice floe in the Beaufort Sea at 81° 44.5 N, 150° 53.4 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 Naval Postgraduate School Arctic Ocean Flux Buoy (AOFB 17) was 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.
