  abstract = {{T}urbulent fluxes at the air-sea interface were estimated in the framework of the {A}frican {M}onsoon {M}ultidisciplinary {A}nalysis ({AMMA}) international program. {A} specific flux measurement mast was designed so as to minimize aerodynamic flow distortion and vibrations. {T}he mast was installed on the research vessel {A}talante that cruised in the {G}ulf of {G}uinea during the onset of the {A}frican monsoon, in {J}une-{J}uly 2006. {T}urbulent fluxes were calculated with an eddy covariance method and with a spectral method. {C}alculation of eddy correlation fluxes required a correction of flow distortion at turbulent scales, which was performed with a new statistical technique. {A}pplication of the spectral flux calculation method revealed that an imbalance term was required, in agreement with results from earlier experiments, and indicated that the value of the {K}olmogorov constant (0.55) should not be modified. {B}ulk exchange coefficients calculated are in good agreement with earlier parameterizations in medium wind conditions.},
