            <gco:CharacterString>When active, the McArthur conducted oceanographic research and assessments, primarily throughout the area of the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Pacific Coast of the United States. The 175-foot ship engaged in measurements of chemical, meteorological, and biological sampling for several large scale programs within NOAA. The majority of the McArthur work was done in several of the National Marine Sanctuaries on the west coast of the United States. The vessel was operated by NOAA Marine and Aviation Operations (NMAO), and was home ported at NOAA's Marine Operations Center, Pacific (MOP), in Seattle, Washington. The ship was named after William Pope McArthur and she was succeeded by the NOAA Ship McArthur II. The McArthur carried a complement of 6 officers, 17 crew members and up to 13 scientists. The scientists who carried out research aboard the McArthur came from many divisions of NOAA, as well as other Federal and state government agencies, and academia. The ship supported a wide range of studies, from the Sustainable Seas Expedition, to marine mammal surveys in the Eastern Pacific called: CHase Encirclement Stress Studies (CHESS) and Oregon, California, Washington (ORCAWHALE) project in support of protected species research efforts. The NOAA Ship McArthur was decommissioned on May 20, 2003, and is no longer in service.</gco:CharacterString>

            <gco:CharacterString>DeepWorker 2000, or "DW", is a 600m (2,000ft) rated ocean exploration human occupied vehicle (HOV) built by Nuytco Research. Operating from multiple platforms, including NOAA Ships Gordon Gunter and R/V McArthur, DW is a completely self-contained, lightweight, directly operated submersible. A 30-in-wide acrylic dome serves as the entry hatch and provides the single pilot with a fantastic 250-270-degree field of vision. DW's two horizontal and two angled vertical thrusters, controlled by foot pedals, allow for extreme maneuverability at a speed of 3 knots in any direction. Its communications systems include VHF multi-channel radio for surface communications, and an acoustic through-water telephone for subsurface communications. Additional equipment includes sonar, HD cameras, a manipulator arm, tracking beacon, a precision laser measuring system, scanning sonar, and scientific sampling equipment. All equipment from onboard computers to air supply tanks have been miniaturized, allowing explorers to go deeper, and spend more time below the surface than they can with traditional scuba equipment, greatly enhancing exploration and research opportunities.</gco:CharacterString>

	"OER BEDI CRUISE LEVEL METADATA TEMPLATE", March 2026 - specifically for BEDI Cruises.

	This XML template for OER Cruise metadata conforms to  the ISO 19115-2:2009(E) geospatial metadata standard. 
  Example content is provided within this template and should be replaced with actual content for the data that are being documented. 
	Fields without comments and without brackets -{{example}}- contain default values. 
	The template matches the NCEI Template as much as possible.

	Authors:
	For further information about this template, please contact

				E-mail: OER.info.mgmt@noaa.gov

	Distribution Liability:
		NOAA makes no warranty, expressed or implied, regarding these data, nor does the fact of distribution constitute such a warranty. 
		NOAA cannot assume liability for any damages caused by any errors or omissions in these templates.

	Use Constraints:
		The user is responsible for the results of any application of these templates for other than its
		intended purpose. These templates cannot guarantee valid output. Additional editing
		may need to be done in order to have valid records.

	Revisions:
		2026-03-01 : Initial BEDI-specific cruise-level template (derived from OER NOFO template).
		2026-04-20 : BEDI fork aligned with OER_EX_Cruise_Level_Template_noDOI-20260420 (Jason: Data License Statement docucomp anchor 493b9ff1-4465-404d-bcdf-e0fe1cedb14f); no Okeanos-only acquisition/keyword blocks.
		2026-04-24 : Renamed vendored copy for Metadata Open Office hours; content matches 20260420 generator wiring (placeholders, fragments, acquisition via platform_snippets).
		2026-07-21 : Align BEDI collection output with current review notes: Data License Statement as a direct resourceConstraints component and inline MI_Platform snippets instead of platform docucomp xlinks.
		2026-07-22 : Restore platform docucomp xlinks per reviewer direction; keep collection instruments empty and preserve camera_code values as Provider Instruments keywords.
