National Science Foundation reverses decision to dismantle oceans-monitoring network after outcry - WXXV News 25
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The National Science Foundation on Thursday reversed a decision to dismantle a sprawling ocean monitoring network after vigorous objections from Democratic lawmakers and scientists who rely on it to track everything from ocean circulation to extreme weather. The NSF issued a statement saying that it “appreciates the concerns raised by the range of stakeholders” and would halt efforts to remove or...

Lost in MistTrump NSF Backs Down from Dismantling Critical Ocean Monitoring Systems – CNN
After bipartisan backlash Trump admin backs down from unilateral and sudden dismantling of ocean monitoring network to ‘consult’ and ‘study’ ‘path forward’ CNN Regular ::: CNN Text-Only Ad-Free. Some of the kinds of news coverage / content that can be expected to disappear if the Skydance-Paramount / Warner Bros. Discovery merger is able to go through, thus putting Bari Weiss, saboteur and vandal of The Late Show, 60 Minutes, and CBS writ large, in charge of CNN. It has already been approved by Trump’s captive/complicit regulators but faces challenges from international regulators and state anti-trust lawsuits. Anti-democracy and pro-thought-police shareholders of Warner Bros. Discovery approved the merger ‘overwhelmingly’ in April.
“The Trump administration is U-turning on its controversial decision to dismantle a critical ocean monitoring system that provides vital information on the health of the world’s oceans, after a bipartisan backlash in Congress.
The Ocean Observatories Initiative was established in 2016 and involves around 900 instruments across parts of the Pacific and Atlantic, especially designed to withstand the immense pressure and corrosive saltiness of the ocean depths.
In late May, the National Science Foundation, which funds the $386 million deep-ocean system, announced it would be pulling up buoys and other underwater equipment from arrays off the coasts of Alaska, Washington, Oregon, North Carolina and Greenland in what it called a “descoping” of the network.
But Thursday, NSF announced it will halt these plans and convene an expert panel to “identify a sustainable path” forward. One array off the coasts of Oregon and Washington has already been removed, but the NSF said in a statement that it is “developing plans to redeploy the equipment.” The organization confirmed it would “not proceed with further removal or descoping of equipment from the remaining arrays.” “

Scientific FrontlineLong-term sea-surface temperature changes in the Atlantic Ocean are primarily driven by human emissions, whereas temperature shifts in the Pacific Ocean are largely governed by natural, internal ocean variability.

TIL about Atlantic Bluefin Tuna:
1. Can swim up to 43 mph (69 km/h). Their wide fins retract and their eyes are flush with their bodies.
2. They are blue on top and white on bottom to be camouflaged from above and below.
3. Grow up to 6.5 ft (2m) and 550 lbs (249kg).
4. The etymology of “tuna” is Greek, meaning “to rush,” in relevance to their speed.

O=C=OGulf Stream shifted north during 12,900-year-old cold snap, first direct evidence shows
During an abrupt global cold snap nearly 13,000 years ago, the #GulfStream #ocean current shifted farther north, temporarily disrupting eastern #Canada's oceanic ecosystems, a process that could happen again as the #climate changes, a new study by UCL researchers finds.
The paper, published in Nature Communications, reconstructed the history of the ocean current using marine sediments recovered off Canada's East Coast. The team found that during a time of rapid and intense climatic change known as the Younger #Dryas, about 12,900 years ago, the Gulf Stream shifted hundreds of miles to the north, bringing it closer to the coast of Nova Scotia.
This northward shift has been predicted in previous modeling studies, but the sediment cores are the first empirical evidence of it during a past major abrupt climate event. The research also provides insight into the sequence of shifts that #Atlantic currents are predicted to undergo because of #ClimateChange, giving scientists better advanced warning of major changes.
