ITP113 was deployed on a 1.2 m thick ice floe in the Beaufort Sea on September 18, 2019 at 78° 50.5 N, 142° 2.9 W as part of the Stratified Ocean Dynamics of the Arctic (SODA) project from the USCGC Healy. On the same icefloe, a Naval Postgraduate School Arctic Ocean Flux Buoy (AOFB), a Seasonal ice mass balance buoy, a WIMBO buoy, DOT buoy and acoustic communications buoy were also installed. The ITP includes a second generation prototype MAVS current sensor operating on a pattern profiling schedule including 2 one-way profiles between 7 and 760 m depth every 2 days and SBE-37 microcats fixed at 5m and 6 m depths.
