Short summary
We investigate the effect of data gaps for various methods of estimating the amplitude spectrum of a time series. We probe the effects of a single data gap of varying size and of numerous small gaps distributed within the time series. We use synthetic data sets and magnetic field measurements from the Venus Express spacecraft. For multiple gaps and turbulent magnetic data, we show that some advanced methods overestimate the high frequencies, while FFT slightly underestimates them.
