The paper presents an analysis, performed at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI), of data obtained at a research platform 9 km off the Dutch coast within the framework of the air–sea gas exchange program ASGAMAGE†. The air–sea transfer velocity of CO 2 was determined directly, that is, by observing CO 2 fluxes and air–sea concentration differences simultaneously. CO 2 fluxes were determined by means of the eddy correlation technique. Special care was taken to avoid the effects water vapour on the CO 2 flux measurements. The air and water near the air–sea interface were treated as well-mixed with respect to CO 2 . The combination of flux and concentration data allowed the computation of the transfer velocity for CO 2 without recourse to other gases. Results for two observation periods, one with downward CO 2 fluxes (May) and one with upward CO 2 fluxes (October), are consistent. A relation with U N ,10 , the wind speed adjusted to a height of 10 m and neutral stratification, was determined for the pooled data from the two experimental phases. The relation found was: k 660 = 0.54U N,10 2 cm h −1 , with k 660 the CO 2 transfer velocity normalized to salt water (35‰) at a temperature of 20 °C, and U N ,10 in m s −1 . The 95% confidence interval of the coefficient extends from 0.46 to 0.63. No relations with other geophysical parameters could be found from the present data set.
