Short summary

The exchange rate of carbon dioxide (CO₂) between the atmosphere and the sea is typically small compared to the fluxes observed in the terrestrial ecosystems, causing technical challenges for the measurements of the CO₂ sea–air fluxes. In this paper, we examine CO₂ sea–air flux measurements carried out on a fixed station on an island. The problems generated by water vapor interference and unmet theoretical assumptions of the eddy covariance method are addressed.
