The Oceanetic 908 thermistor buoy 300034013853150 was deployed on 2012-03-24 at Peel Sound. Peel Sound is located in Nunavut and separates Somerset Island on the east from Prince of Wales Island on the west. Parry Channel is located to the north end of Peel Sound, and its southern end merges with Franklin Strait. Several islands located in Peel Sound include Lock, Vivian, Prescott, Pandora, Otrick, Barth, De la Roquette, and Gibson. This device is a Ice Buoy. Ice Mass Balance Buoys measure various parameters including ice surface and bottom position, ice drift, meteorological data, and snow-ice-ocean temperature profiles. It was deployed on a mobile platform. Data from this deployment were archived and made available through Ocean Networks Canada's Oceans 2.0 digital infrastructure, with quality assurance and derived data products following established practices.
