The distribution of atomic hydrogen in the Galactic plane is usually mapped using the Doppler shift of 21cm emission line. We calculate the emission spectrum in velocity slices of data (channel maps) and derive its dependence on the statistics of HI velocity and density fields. We find that (a) if the density spectrum is steep, i.e. n
