gclefDismantling of key ocean ‘telescope’ raises fears of U.S. retreat from marine science
"Many science questions addressed by the moorings targeted for removal have demanded observations that span multiple seasonal cycles. For example, Palevsky began to use OOI moorings in the North Atlantic a decade ago to study how surface carbon mixed into the abyss, but only began to answer those questions in a study published this year. Off the Pacific Northwest, meanwhile, a pair of moorings has revealed how cold, deep waters periodically migrate onto the coastal shelf, triggering bouts of hypoxia and acidification."
