Table 3: H$\alpha $ Moreton wave kinematics derived with the "visual" method. v1 and vl are the measured first and last velocities, $v_{0~{\rm est}}$ the velocity obtained from the polynomial fit of r(t) at the estimated starting time, $\bar v$ the mean velocity derived from a linear fit, $r_{\rm min}$ and  $r_{\rm max}$ the minimum and maximum distances of the wavefronts, $\bar a$ the average deceleration derived from the polynomial fits, and $\delta $ is the exponent of the power-law fits. The last four rows give the mean values and standard deviations $\sigma $ of the parameters obtained by the "visual" and the "profile method", respectively. Values in brackets are inaccurate and are not used for deriving the mean values. Decelerations are given in m s-2, velocities in km s-1, and distances in Mm (103 km).
