文摘
- •
We estimate potential energy density using NDMC measurements from four stations.
- •
Depending on periods, annual or semi-annual variations can be observed.
- •
The influence of the size of the instrument's field-of-view on the results is discussed.
- •
Horizontal wavelengths are derived for two instruments operated at the same station.
- •
This is done without use of an imaging system.
