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.. </gco:CharacterString> </gmi:description> <gmi:sponsor xlink:href="https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/02527da0-6aaa-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:title="NOAA/OMAO/MOC-A Marine Operations Center - Atlantic (owner)"/> <gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/61648480-7010-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:title="Kongsberg EM1002 Multibeam Echosounder"/> <gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/9a8d7fa0-701a-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:title="Reson SeaBat 7125 Multibeam Echosounder"/> <gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/b7ae3f00-701c-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:title="Simrad EK60 Echosounder"/> <gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/174979b0-700a-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:title="Furuno FE700 Echosounder"/> <gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/f7731df0-700c-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:title="Knudsen CHIRP 3200 Echosounder"/> <gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/c07f2060-67a0-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:title="RM Young 61202V Barometric Pressure Sensor"/> <gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/d9b5d450-67a2-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:title="RM Young 41382VC Relative Humidity/Air Temperature Sensor"/> <gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/ad085710-67a3-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:title="RM Young 05106/05306B Wind Sensor"/> <gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/46d6e5b0-69c4-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:title="Sea-Bird Electronics 45 MicroTSG Thermosalinograph"/> <gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/45080730-69c6-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:title="Sea-Bird Electronics 911plus CTD Sensor"/> <gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/43aeca90-702e-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:title="Sea-Bird Electronics 43 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor"/> <gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/b3d74130-702e-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:title="Sea-Bird Electronics 18 pH Sensor"/> <gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/f487bd00-703c-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:title="Sea-Bird Electronics 38 Digital Oceanographic Temperature Sensor"/> <gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/9779e920-703d-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:title="Sea-Bird Electronics SeaCat 21 Thermosalinograph Sensor"/> <gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/d834d7e0-70dd-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:title="Sea-Bird Electronics SeaCat Profiler CTD SBE 19plus V2"/> <gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/c93f9f10-70e0-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:title="Teledyne RD Instruments Ocean Surveyor Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler"/> <gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/daaa7980-70e2-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:title="Turner 10AU Fluorometer"/> <gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/b55d9fd0-703e-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:title="Seapoint Chlorophyll Fluorometer"/> <gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/9f7405b0-70d9-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:title="Seapoint Turbidity Meter"/> <gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/491cba30-69c8-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:title="Applanix POS/MV 320"/> </gmi:MI_Platform>
