ITP37 was deployed on August 30, 2009 in open water at 81° 55.7 N, 120° 10.1 E in the Transpolar Drift in collaboration with the Nansen and Amundsen Basins Observational System (NABOS) project from I/B Kapitan Dranitsyn. The ITP is operating on a typical sampling schedule of 2 one-way profiles between 7 and 760 m depth each day.
