ITP138 was deployed on a 0.8 m thick ice floe in the Beaufort Sea on September 23, 2023 at 77° 58.2 N, 140° 47.3 W as part of the Beaufort Gyre Observing System (BGOS) during the JOIS 2023 cruise on the CCGS Louis S. St. Laurent. On the same icefloe, a Tethered Ocean Profiler (TOP11), 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 and includes a fixed SAMI PCO2 with ODO and PAR at 5 m depth.
