    ACT verifications are based on an evaluation of technology performance under specific, agreed- upon protocols, criteria, and quality assurance procedures. ACT and its Partner Institutions do not certify that a technology will always operate as verified and make no expressed or implied guarantee as to the performance of the technology or that a technology will always, or under circumstances other than those used in testing, operate at the levels verified. ACT does not seek to determine regulatory compliance; does not rank technologies nor compare their performance; does not label or list technologies as acceptable or unacceptable; and does not seek to determine “best available technology” in any form. The end user is solely responsible for complying with any and all applicable federal, state, and local requirements. This document has been peer reviewed by ACT Partner Institutions and a technology-specific advisory committee and was recommended for public release.

    WAVES MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS TEST AND EVALUATION PROTOCOLS IN SUPPORT OF NATIONAL OPERATIONAL WAVE OBSERVATION PLAN
    (2012) Alliance for Coastal Technologies
    In 2009, the Alliance for Coastal Technologies (ACT) supported the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS), NOAA National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in developing community consensus on a plan for a comprehensive, high quality surface-wave monitoring network for the United States, entitledA National Operational Wave Observation Plan. The national system of surface wave observations proposed by this plan will increase the wave observation spatial coverage along and across the US coasts and will serve as a stimulus for wave modeling activities in verification /validation improvements, data fusion and assimilation. This plan (IOOS, 2009) divides the US coastline into seven primary geographic regions and four along-coast observational sub-nets (Offshore, Outer-Shelf, InnerShelf, and Coastal Subnets). The plan focuses on real-time, in situ, directional wave sensors required to create a robust backbone across these four regions. It was further recognized by this Plan that as waves move from offshore to the beach the observational technology changes, as does the accuracy requirements of the sensors employed and the range of user applications.
