            <gco:CharacterString>At 274 ft and displacing more than 3,200 tons, the NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown is the flagship of the NOAA fleet. Named in memory of a former the U.S. Department of Commerce Secretary who perished in a plane crash in 1996, the ship is a state-of-the-art oceanographic and atmospheric research platform. The Ron Brown, as it is commonly and fondly known, is equipped with an array of advanced instruments and sensors. From its home port in Charleston, South Carolina, the ship has sailed the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, conducting scientific studies to increase our understanding of the world's marine environment. The Ron Brown carries a complement of 5 NOAA Corps officers, 20 crew members, and can accommodate up to 33 scientists. The crew's primary responsibilities involve day-to-day operations. This includes routine data collection and management tasks related to the ship's mission as a scientific research platform.</gco:CharacterString>

                <gco:CharacterString>Seabeam 2112 (12 Khz) swath bathymetric sonar system. The system, originally used for high accuracy (Seabeam Classic) charting of the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), is capable of hydrographic charting and seafloor acoustic backscatter imaging in water depths of 50 to 11,000 meters with up to 151 beams. Swath coverage (75 percent of water depth) varies as a function of depth, from 150 degrees at 1,000 meters, to 120 degrees at 5,000 meters, and 90 degrees at 11,000 meters, with a resolution of two degrees. The system regularly operates in 4000+ meters of water but is effective in shallower applications (less than 500m).</gco:CharacterString>

            <gco:CharacterString>Jason is a two-body ROV system. A 10-kilometer (6-mile) fiber-optic tether delivers electrical power and commands from the ship through Medea and down to Jason, which then returns data and live video imagery. Medea serves as a shock absorber, buffering Jason from the movements of the ship, while providing lighting and a birdâs eye view of the ROV during seafloor operations. Jason is equipped with sonar imagers, water samplers, video and still cameras, and lighting gear. Jasonâs manipulator arms collect samples of rock, sediment, or marine life and place them in the vehicleâs basket or on âelevatorâ platforms that float heavier loads to the surface. Pilots and scientists work from a control room on the ship to monitor Jasonâs instruments and video while maneuvering the vehicle. The average Jason dive lasts 21 hours, though operators have kept the vehicle down for as long as 100 hours.</gco:CharacterString>

            <gco:CharacterString>Jason is a two-body ROV system. A 10-kilometer (6-mile) fiber-optic tether delivers electrical power and commands from the ship through Medea and down to Jason, which then returns data and live video imagery. Medea serves as a shock absorber, buffering Jason from the movements of the ship, while providing lighting and a birdâs eye view of the ROV during seafloor operations. Jason is equipped with sonar imagers, water samplers, video and still cameras, and lighting gear. Jasonâs manipulator arms collect samples of rock, sediment, or marine life and place them in the vehicleâs basket or on âelevatorâ platforms that float heavier loads to the surface. Pilots and scientists work from a control room on the ship to monitor Jasonâs instruments and video while maneuvering the vehicle. The average Jason dive lasts 21 hours, though operators have kept the vehicle down for as long as 100 hours.</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.
