The Oceanetic 908 Thermistor Buoy ID 300234011032990 was deployed on 2015-04-16 at Victoria Strait. Victoria Strait is a waterway between Victoria Island and King William Island in Nunavut Territory. The strait is approximately 160 km long. 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.
