미국 해양 센서 철수, El Niño 앞둔 캐나다 연구에 충격

The decommissioning of 900+ ocean sensors across US coastal zones creates a critical data gap precisely as El Niño conditions are expected this summer, disrupting climate research that requires a minimum 30-year continuous observation baseline. This shutdown—occurring after only a decade of the planned 25-30 year operation—undermines international oceanographic collaboration and cripples real-time monitoring capacity essential for fisheries management, tsunami early warning, and understanding climate impacts.
