Abstract:

SOHO/CDS measurements of the quiet Sun chromospheric He I 584.33 A, and transition region O V 629.73 A spectral lines are used to study ability of the CDS instrument to detect the Doppler shifts of spectral lines in the supergranular network and internetwork using short exposures. Precise analysis has shown that the CDS instrument is not suitable for the detection of the mass motion in the internetwork, but in contrast, it is suitable for such detection in the network.
