In 2001, the Navy transferred the vessel to NOAA who outfitted the ship to conduct coastal research along the U.S. Atlantic/Gulf coasts, and the Caribbean. Nancy Foster is named for Dr. Nancy Foster, in tribute to her outstanding contributions in advancing NOAA's mission through her leadership within the National Marine Fisheries Service and National Ocean Service from 1986 until 2000. Nancy Foster supports applied research for NOAA's National Ocean Service and Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research. Operations include the characterization of habitats in our nation's National Marine Sanctuaries and coastal waters, water quality studies, maritime heritage surveys, and coral reef assessments. The vessel employs state of the art navigation and propulsion systems resulting in high quality and efficient data collection with cutting edge technology including high resolution multibeam sonars, split beam sonars, and an array of water quality sensors and CTDs. Additional capabilities include water, sediment, and core sampling, sub-bottom profiling, diving with air and NITROX, ROV and AUV operations, small boat operations and servicing oceanographic/atmospheric surface and subsurface buoys.. sponsor: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/02527da0-6aaa-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66 title: NOAA/OMAO/MOC-A Marine Operations Center - Atlantic (owner) instrument: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/61648480-7010-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66 title: Kongsberg EM1002 Multibeam Echosounder instrument: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/9a8d7fa0-701a-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66 title: Reson SeaBat 7125 Multibeam Echosounder instrument: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/b7ae3f00-701c-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66 title: Simrad EK60 Echosounder instrument: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/174979b0-700a-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66 title: Furuno FE700 Echosounder instrument: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/f7731df0-700c-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66 title: Knudsen CHIRP 3200 Echosounder instrument: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/c07f2060-67a0-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66 title: RM Young 61202V Barometric Pressure Sensor instrument: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/d9b5d450-67a2-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66 title: RM Young 41382VC Relative Humidity/Air Temperature Sensor instrument: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/ad085710-67a3-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66 title: RM Young 05106/05306B Wind Sensor instrument: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/46d6e5b0-69c4-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66 title: Sea-Bird Electronics 45 MicroTSG Thermosalinograph instrument: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/45080730-69c6-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66 title: Sea-Bird Electronics 911plus CTD Sensor instrument: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/43aeca90-702e-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66 title: Sea-Bird Electronics 43 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor instrument: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/b3d74130-702e-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66 title: Sea-Bird Electronics 18 pH Sensor instrument: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/f487bd00-703c-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66 title: Sea-Bird Electronics 38 Digital Oceanographic Temperature Sensor instrument: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/9779e920-703d-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66 title: Sea-Bird Electronics SeaCat 21 Thermosalinograph Sensor instrument: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/d834d7e0-70dd-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66 title: Sea-Bird Electronics SeaCat Profiler CTD SBE 19plus V2 instrument: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/c93f9f10-70e0-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66 title: Teledyne RD Instruments Ocean Surveyor Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler instrument: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/daaa7980-70e2-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66 title: Turner 10AU Fluorometer instrument: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/b55d9fd0-703e-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66 title: Seapoint Chlorophyll Fluorometer instrument: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/9f7405b0-70d9-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66 title: Seapoint Turbidity Meter instrument: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/491cba30-69c8-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66 title: Applanix POS/MV 320 |
