Air-sea momentum and CO2 fluxes are estimated from observational data collected atsea observation towerbyusingthe eddy correlation method (ECM) together with the inertial dissipation method (IDM). Variability factors in the air-sea transfers can be investigated by using simultaneously both methods. The estimated fluxes are classified according to meteorological and oceanic conditions, i.e., the wave age, the unsteadiness of 10-m wind speed or the unsteadiness of CO2 concentration and the deflection of the wind stress vector from the mean wind direction. The present results show that the agreement between the fluxes from ECM and IDM is more sensitive to the deflection of the wind stress than the other factors. The wind stress deflection is found to be driven by the influence of swell on the air-sea momentum exchange process.
