ITP114 was deployed on a 0.8 m thick ice floe in the Beaufort Sea on September 20, 2019 at 77° 57.9 N, 145° 0.1 W as part of the Stratified Ocean Dynamics of the Arctic (SODA) project from the USCGC Healy. On the same icefloe, a SVP and acoustic communications buoy were also installed. The ITP includes a second generation prototype MAVS current sensor operating on a pattern profiling schedule including 2 one-way profiles between 7 and 760 m depth each day and SBE-37 microcats fixed at 5m and 6 m depths.
