Recent advances in autonomous and Lagrangian platforms and sensors (ALPS) have been applied to physical, chemical and biological studies on a wide range of scales. This class of instruments facilitates sampling at relevant temporal and spatial scales while providing the continuous presence needed to capture multiple realizations of episodic events and characterize longer-term seasonal and inter-annual changes. Profiling floats, autonomous underwater vehicles, including gliders and drifters, offer a combination of high-resolution spatial coverage, vertical sampling through the water column and extended (days to years) deployments that cannot be easily achieved with other technologies. Novel applications of these new observational capabilities exploit the combination of spatial coverage and continuous presence to advance our understanding of physical, chemical and biological processes. As ALPS technologies mature they have transitioned from specialized engineering/science teams to mainstream applications supporting the larger scientific community. Results from early science missions are now becoming available, making this an excellent time to review how ALPS technologies have been applied to address compelling science questions and present advances in understanding that have resulted from these programs. As a result of this reward, Dr. Moline and colleagues are responsible for producing a special issue of Limnology and Oceanography, entitled "Scientific Results from Autonomous and Lagrangian Platforms and Sensors" as a means to increase awareness of the progress being made in autonomous systems to the broader scientific and management communities, demonstrate accessibility of these systems for scientific study, and, most importantly, highlight the scientific discovery that is enabled by these developing systems.

自主和拉格朗日平台和传感器（ALP）的最新进展已应用于各种尺度的物理，化学和生物学研究。这类仪器有助于在相关的时间和空间尺度上进行采样，同时提供了捕获情节事件的多个实现所需的连续存在，并表征了长期的季节性和年际变化。分析浮子，包括滑翔机和漂流器在内的自动水下车辆，提供了高分辨率空间覆盖，通过水柱进行垂直采样以及延长（天到几年）的部署，这些部署无法轻易通过其他技术实现。这些新的观察能力的新颖应用利用了空间覆盖范围和连续存在的结合，以促进我们对物理，化学和生物过程的理解。随着阿尔卑斯山技术的成熟，他们已经从专业工程/科学团队过渡到支持更大科学界的主流应用。早期科学任务的结果现在已经成为现实，这使得这是回顾如何应用阿尔卑斯山技术来解决引人注目的科学问题的绝佳时机，并在这些计划中产生的理解进展。 由于这一奖励，Moline博士及其同事负责产生肺科学和海洋学的特殊问题，题为“自主和拉格朗日平台和传感器的科学结果”，是一种方法，是一种使对广泛的科学和管理社区的自主系统进步的认识，通过这些系统来实现这些系统的范围，这些系统的发展是较广泛的，这些系统的发展是这些系统的，并且是这些系统的重要性，这些系统是这些系统的重要性。
