Researchers from WHOI and crew from the Canadian icebreaker Louis S. St. Laurent prepare to deploy an ice-tethered micro-mooring (ITM) on a large ice floe in the Canada Basin in August. The ITM consists of a yellow buoy embedded in a hole in the ice, with a line supporting instruments hanging 100 meters down into the ocean below. The instruments will measure water properties at 15-minute intervals for up to two years. This expedition marked the tenth year of the Beaufort Gyre Exploration Project exploring the effects of climate change on the Arctic. Project co-leader Rick Krishfield reported that this year, the team had to cruise 200 miles north of their track the previous nine years to find enough ice to deploy their instruments.
