Abstract
The letter investigates both theoretically and experimentally the influence of the duration of the basic measuring interval and the sampling rate (integration time) on the determination of the variance of amplitude deviations from their clear weather mean. Under the given experimental conditions a sampling interval of 100 ms and a basic measuring interval of about 1 min proved to be appropriate to keep errors low in determining the variance.
