  abstract = {{M}icrometeorological measurements, including direct eddy - correlation heat and moisture fluxes, have been made under light wind conditions in the western equatorial {P}acific. {T}he sea surface "cool skin" of about {O}.5°{C} was observed; air-sea temperature differences were 1-1.5°{C} larger than long term averages from merchant-ship data. {B}ulk transfer coefficients for both fluxes increased markedly as wind speed fell below 4 m/s, in excellent agreement with the predictions of {L}iu et al. (1979). {D}issipation estimates of the fluxes are about half the covariance measurements below 4 m/s. {O}bservations of the individual components of radiation suggest that commonly used empirical formulations overestimate both long - and short wave in this region by 15-20 {W}/m2. {A}pplication of all possible corrections would reduce {R}eed's (1985) estimate of net heat flux into the ocean by some 80 {W}/m2 to around only 20 {W}/m2 in this region of the {P}acific.
