The mooring was deployed off the USCGC Healy on Oct 13, 2011 at 00:49:08 UTC
at 71° 23.645' N, 152° 2.908' W in 146.6 meters of water depth.
It was recovered on Oct 12, 2012 local, going into Oct 13 GMT.

Instrumentation included:
- 300KHz ADCP, on subsurface float
- SBE39 "microcat", on subsurface float
- ULS type 5 Ice Sonar, on subsurface float
- P-CO2 sensor below subsurface float (University of Alaska)
- coastal moored profiler "CMP"
- P-CO2 sensor near bottom (University of Alaska)
- 75KHz ADCP near bottom
- SBE39 "microcat" near bottom
- SBE52 pressure gauge near bottom

Note: We pulled the Arctic Winch off the BS3 sphere shortly before the deployment
because of disappointing data return from last year's BS3 and BC1 deployments. The BC1
winch only contained pre-deployment test data, while the BS3 winch had 3 days of CTD data.
