Notes. The molecules used for this analysis are c-C3 H2, H13CO+, 13CO, CS, SO, SiO, HNC, and CH3OH. (a) Channel velocities of c-C3 H2. (b) Mean width of the PDF. (c)Median width of the PDF. (d)Median FWHM for each velocity component determined with c-C3 H2. (e) Mach number for three assumed temperatures. (f)Forcing parameter ζ. x means that there is no intersection of the two functions b(ζ). In these cases, we assume f = 2.9 to derive b. (g) Forcing parameter b. (h) Mean and median values of the PDF width for each sub-sample of clouds.
