ITP33 was deployed on October 7, 2009 on a 4.2 m thick ice floe in the Beaufort Sea at 77° 59.7 N, 149° 14.5 W as part of the Beaufort Gyre Observing System (BGOS) during the JOIS 2009 cruise on the CCGS Louis S. St. Laurent. The ITP is operating on a standard sampling schedule of 2 one-way profiles between 7 and 760 m depth each day.
