Feds will abruptly dismantle system monitoring climate change, oceans The National Science Foundation has begun dismantling a major ocean monitoring network more than a decade earlier than planned. Some scientists say it will be a “tragic” loss of crucial information about the world’s warming oceans . The dismantling will end most of the monitoring in one of the nation's most advanced, continuous observing systems less than halfway through its intended 25-year lifespan. Researchers warn that the loss of measurements will limit efforts to better understand ocean phenomena, including marine heat waves, hurricanes, fisheries and long-term shifts in climate, even as the oceans reach record-warm temperatures. The ocean initiative, which came online in 2016 at a cost of more than $360 million, originally included seven arrays . “It’s a marvelous scientific experimentation, from the surface to the deepest part of where they are moored,” said Craig McL...
