Description:
Ice-Tethered Profilers (ITPs), first deployed in fall 2004, have significantly increased the number of high-quality upper-ocean water-property observations available from the central Arctic. This article reviews the instrument technology and provides a status report on performance, along with several examples of the science that ITPs and companion instrumentation support.
Description:
Initial development of the ITP concept
was supported by the Cecil H. and
Ida M. Green Technology Innovation
Program at the Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institution. Funding
for construction and deployment
of the prototype ITPs was provided
by the National Science Foundation
Oceanographic Technology and
Interdisciplinary Coordination (OTIC)
Program and Office of Polar Programs
(OPP) under Grant OCE-0324233.
Continued support has been provided by
the OPP Arctic Sciences Section under
Awards ARC-0519899, ARC-0631951,
ARC-0856479, and internal WHOI
funding, including the James M. and
Ruth P. Clark Initiative for Arctic
Research.
