Description
Summary:ITP 19 was deployed on a 1.9 m thick icefloe in the Transpolar Drift as part of the North Pole Environmental Observatory (NPEO) . On the same icefloe, a Naval Postgraduate School Arctic Ocean Flux Buoy , a US Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) Ice Mass Balance Buoy and NOAA/PMEL Weatherex station with webcam were deployed. The ITP operated on a fast sampling schedule of 4 one-way profiles between 7 and 760 m depth each day, started in the Basin, stalled at 83° N, and reached Fram Strait only 7 months after deployment.
