  abstract = {{T}urbulent fluxes at the air-sea interface are estimated with data collected in 2011 to 2017 with a low-profile platform during six experiments in four regions. {T}he observations were carried out with moderate winds (2-10 m/s) and averaged wave heights of 1.5 m. {M}ost of the time, there was a swell, with an averaged wave age (the ratio between wave phase speed and wind speed) being equal to 2.8 ± 1.6. {T}hree flux calculation methods are used, namely, the eddy covariance ({EC}), the inertial dissipation ({ID}), and the bulk methods. {F}or the {EC} method, a spectral technique is proposed to correct wind data from platform motion. {A} mean bias affecting the friction velocity (u*) is then evaluated. {T}he comparison between {EC} u* and {ID} u* estimates suggests that a constant imbalance term (ϕimb) equal to 0.4 is required in the {ID} method, possibly due to wave influence on our data. {O}verall, the confidence in the calculated u* estimates is found to be on the order of 10%. {T}he values of the drag coefficient ({CD}) are in good agreement with the parameterizations of {S}mith (1988, https://doi.org/10.1029/{JC}093i{C}12p15467) in medium-range winds and of {E}dson et al. (2013, https://doi.org/10.1175/{JPO}-{D}-12-0173.1) in light winds. {A}ccording to our data, the inverse wave age varies linearly with wind speed, as in {E}dson et al. (2013, https://doi.org/10.1175/{JPO}-{D}-12-0173.1), but our estimates of the {C}harnock coefficient do not increase with wind speed, which is possibly related to sampling swell-dominated seas. {W}e find that the {S}tanton number is independent from wind speed.},
