Instrument performance verification is necessary so that effective existing technologies can be
recognized, and so that promising new technologies can become available to support coastal science,
resource management, and ocean observing systems. The Alliance for Coastal Technologies (ACT) has
therefore completed an evaluation of commercially available in situ salinity sensors. While the sensors
evaluated have many potential applications, the focus of this Performance Verification was on nearshore
moored and profiled deployments and at a performance resolution of between 0.1 – 0.01 salinity units.
In this Verification Statement, we present the performance results of the RBR XR-420 and XR620 CTD salinity sensors evaluated in the laboratory and under diverse environmental conditions in
moored and profiling field tests. A total of one laboratory site and five different field sites were used for
testing, including tropical coral reef, high turbidity estuary, sub-tropical and sub-arc.....
