Methane (CH4) gas exchange rates were measured between the atmosphere and the sea surface using the relaxed eddy accumulation technique. Vertical wind directions and speed were measured at the rate of 10 Hz with a 3-D ultrasonic anemometer located on the compass deck of a vessel. Wind direction measured was corrected using a 3-D inclinometer and angular accelerometer. Air sampled was separately stored in two bins according to the wind direction. The concentration of CH4 gas in each bin was measured with a gas analyzer every 3 min. Diurnal changes in CH4 flux were found at the sea surface.
