• Audit at least 10% of the verification data.
• Prepare and distribute an assessment report for each audit.
• Verify implementation of any necessary corrective action.
• Notify the ACT Chief Scientist if a stop work order should be issued if audits indicate that
data quality is being compromised or if proper safety practices are not followed.
• Provide a summary of the audit activities and results for the verification reports.
• Review the draft verification reports and statements.
• Have overall responsibility for ensuring that the test/QA plan and ACT quality procedures are
followed.
• Ensure that confidentiality of proprietary manufacturer technology and information is
maintained.
3.3 ACT Technical Coordinators
ACT Technical Coordinators at each ACT Partner institution shall:
• Assist in developing the test/QA plan for the verification test.
• Install, maintain, and operate the wave measurement systems at the described test locations.
• Provide all test data to the ACT Chief Scientist and CDIP/SIO electronically, in mutually
agreed upon format.
• Remove sensor systems and other related equipment from the test facility upon completing the
verification test.
• Provide the ACT Chief Scientist and Quality Managers access to and /or copies of appropriate
QA documentation of test equipment and procedures (e.g., SOPs, calibration data).
• Provide information regarding education and experience of each staff member involved in the
verification.
• Assist in ACT’s reporting of their respective test facility’s QA/quality control results.
• Review portions of the draft verification statements to assure accurate descriptions of their
respective test facility operations and to provide technical insight on verification results.
3.4 CDIP/SIO
CDIP/SIO shall:
• Develop a PC version of CDIPtool for ACT Wave Test and Evaluation.
• Receive “clean” spectral data from ACT Technical Coordinators or directly from
instrumentation if possible for processing.
• Obtain First-5 variables for each frequency band from CDIPtool.
• Produce frequency/energy spectral comparisons with standard methods.
3.5 NDBC
NDBC shall:
• Maintain buoys for co-located experiments.
• Continue with initial co-location exercise in Monterey Canyon.
