TOP10 was deployed in open water in the Beaufort Sea on October 3, 2023 at 73° 2.9 N, 179° 57.7 W as part of the Beaufort Gyre Observing System (BGOS) during the JOIS 2023 cruise on the CCGS Louis S. St. Laurent. The TOP is operating on a standard sampling schedule of 6 two-way profiles from the surface to 200 m depth each day.
