ITP54 was deployed on August 6, 2011 on a 2.23 m thick ice floe in the Beaufort Sea at 77° 0.1 N, 140° 5.7 W as part of the Beaufort Gyre Observing System (BGOS) during the JOIS 2011 cruise on the CCGS Louis S. St. Laurent. On the same icefloe, a Naval Postgraduate School Arctic Ocean Flux Buoy (AOFB 25), a US Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) Ice Mass Balance Buoy (IMB), a Yale University array of 3 MetOcean Ice Beacons, and an Uptempo buoy were also installed. The ITP includes a dissolved oxygen sensor and a fixed SBE-37 microcat at 6 m depth and is operating on a standard sampling schedule of 2 one-way profiles between 7 and 760 m depth each day.
