21. lm is the mode frequency in a frame rotating with the plasma. For the m = 0 modes discussed here this distinction is not necessary because their frequency is the same in either the laboratory or rotating frame.
22. Information on the mode eigenfunction can be obtained from the side-view images even when there is a change in the phase-averaged ion fluorescence. However, the images may no longer provide a linear measure of the mode axial velocity.
