As an alternative to identifying and then studying particular features seen in Galactic HI 21-cm images, studies of the angular power spectra of the emission provide a concise, statistical description of HI emission. The angular power spectra of several fields near l = 140°, from the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey, as observed with the DRAO Synthesis Telescope, have been analysed in this way. The derived power spectra, which typically cover angular scales from about 0 · 15 to 0 · 9 degree, are generally well-fitted by a simple power-law dependence on angular scale.
