ITP122 was deployed on a 1.0 m thick ice floe in the Beaufort Sea on September 4, 2021 at 79° 17.1 N, 135° 32.0 W as part of the Beaufort Gyre Observing System (BGOS) during the JOIS 2021 cruise on the CCGS Louis S. St. Laurent. On the same icefloe, a prototype Tethered Ocean Profiler (TOP4), a US Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) Seasonal Ice Mass Balance Buoy 3 ,and a Naval Postgraduate School Arctic Ocean Flux Buoy (AOFB48) were also installed. The ITP is operating on a fast sampling schedule of 4 one-way profiles between 5 and 760 m depth each day.
