Table 3 Power spectral densities and noise characterizations for CONT campaigns. For both KF and LSM ZWD time series, the PSD Φ in cm2/day, obtained by assuming a random walk process and fitting the ASD data accordingly, are shown. Additionally, the slope k of the ASD fit is shown, indicating the type of noise
