ITP 30 was deployed on a 2.4 m thick ice floe in the Beaufort Sea as part of the Beaufort Gyre Observing System (BGOS). On the same icefloe, a Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) Ice Mass Balance Array (SIMBA A) was also installed. The ITP was configured with a FSI EMCTD and operated on a standard sampling schedule of 2 one-way profiles between 7 and 760 m depth each day. While it reported locations for 260 days, it unfortunately it only collected temperature and salinity profiles for five days.
