Description
TOP 21 was deployed on 30cm thick ice in a variable thickness ice floe on 8 October 2025 at 77° 0.715’ N, 136° 43.645’ W as part of the Beaufort Gyre Observing System (BGOS) cruise on the CCGS Louis S. St. Laurent heavy icebreaker. The TOP began operating on a sampling schedule of 6 two-way or “yo-yo” profiles between 1 and 760 meters each day. The surface buoy contains a Keller pressure sensor for recording atmospheric pressure alongside the buoy’s position.
