    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. Mention of trade names or commercial products does not constitute endorsement or recommendation by ACT for use.

    Alliance for Coastal Technologies: Advancing Moored pCO2 Instruments in Coastal Waters
    (2011) Tamburri, Mario N.; Johengen, Thomas H.; Atkinson, Marlin J.; Schar, Daniel W.H.; Robertson, Charles Y.; Purcell, Heidi; Smith, G. Jason; Pinchuk, Alexei; Buckley, Earle
    The Alliance for Coastal Technologies (ACT) has been established to support innovation and to provide the information required to select the most appropriate tools for studying and monitoring coastal and ocean environments. ACT is a consortium of nationally prominent ocean science and technology institutions and experts who provide credible performance data of these technologies through third-party, objective testing. ACT technology verifications include laboratory and field tests over short- and long-term deployments of commercial technologies in diverse environments to provide unequivocal, unbiased confirmation that technologies meet key performance requirements. ACT demonstrations of new technologies validate the technology concept and help eliminate performance problems before operational introduction. ACT’s most recent demonstration of pCO2 sensors is an example of how ACT advances the evolution of ocean observing technologies, in this case to address the critical issue of ocean acidification, and promotes more informed decision making on technology capabilities and choices.
