ITP111 was deployed on a 2.8 m thick ice floe in the Transpolar Drift on October 5, 2019 at 85° 1.8 N, 132° 44.5 E in collaboration with the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition from the Russian Research Vessel Federov. On the same icefloe, a Naval Postgraduate School Arctic Ocean Flux Buoy (AOFB), a Seasonal ice mass balance buoy, a Meteorological sled, Spectral radiometer and AWI snow buoy were also installed. The ITP is operating on a standard sampling schedule of 2 one-way profiles between 7 and 760 m depth each day.
