ITP84 was deployed on a 1.96 m thick ice floe in the Beaufort Sea on October 11, 2014 at 76° 1.9 N, 139° 48.7 W as part of the Beaufort Gyre Observing System (BGOS) during the JOIS 2014 cruise on the CCGS Louis S. St. Laurent. On the same icefloe, a US Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) Seasonal Ice Mass Balance Buoy and an autonomous atmospheric chemistry buoy (O-Buoy) were also installed. The ITP includes a dissolved oxygen sensor and is operating on a standard sampling schedule of 2 one-way profiles between 7 and 760 m depth each day and includes a fixed SAMI PCO2 and SBE-37 microcat at 6 m depth.
