  abstract = {{T}he upper few meters of the ocean form a critical layer for air sea interaction, but because of observational challenges this region is undersampled. {H}owever, the physical processes controlling momentum transfer, gas exchange, and heat transfer are all concentrated in the uppermost region of the ocean. {T}o study this region, the {A}ir-{S}ea {I}nteraction {P}rofiler ({ASIP}) was developed. {T}his is an autonomous microstructure vertical profiling instrument that provides data from a maximum depth of 100 m to the ocean surface and allows measurements to be performed in an undisturbed environment. {T}he core sensor package on {ASIP} includes shear probes, microstructure and {CTD}-quality temperature and conductivity sensors, a photosynthetically active radiation ({PAR}) sensor, and an oxygen optode providing a repeated high-resolution dataset immediately below the air-sea interface. {A}utonomous profiling is accomplished with thrusters that submerge the positively buoyant instrument. {O}nce the desired depth is reached, {ASIP} ascends through the water column acquiring data. {A}t the surface, {ASIP} acquires its position and transmits this over the {I}ridium satellite network. {ASIP} is then placed in a low-power mode for a specified period, whereupon it repeats the profile cycle. {T}wo-way communication over the {I}ridium network allows mission parameters to be changed in real time. {ASIP} has been used to study several scientific questions, such as the impact of diurnal warming on atmospheric processes, turbulence scaling in the upper ocean, parameterizing air-sea gas exchange, salinity gradients in the ocean surface boundary layer ({OSBL}), and consequences for remote sensing.},
