We argue that the boundary conditions at the air-water interface lead to a variation of the transfer coefficient with the 1/2 power of the molecular diffusivity for slightly soluble gases. For wind-driven bodies of water the transfer coefficient should vary with the −1/2 power of the Schmidt number and with the 1/2 power of that part of the wind stress transmitted by viscosity. The boundary conditions are contrasted with those at a smooth wall where the mass transfer coefficient varies with the –2/3 power of the Schmidt number. Measurements of the transfer coefficient for N2O, CH4, and He at moderate wind stress in an 18 meter wind-wave tunnel support our arguments.
