Highlights
  • The NSF is not cancelling the Ocean Observatories Initiative; it will descope by removing in-water infrastructure from multiple site coasts and the Irminger Sea over 15 months.
  • Being able to have instruments both out in the atmosphere and in deep subsurface waters is essential for studying climate signals that satellites cannot capture.
  • The Ocean Observatories Initiative operated on roughly $48 million a year, not including vessel costs, with 60 to 70 staff before budget cuts.
