Radar observations of meteor trails
Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Abstract Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Abstract A Fresnel Transform technique has been developed at Adelaide to analyse radar meteor echoes detected in the transverse mode. The genesis for this technique was the study of the structure of the scattering ionization immediately behind the head of the trai...
متن کاملLeonid meteor stream from Ondřejov radar observations in 1965 – 1967
Results of Ondřejov radar observations of Leonid meteor shower in 1965–1967 are presented. Observations performed during previous returns of Leonid meteor showers indicate that both in 1965 and 1966 the peak activity was observed at almost the same solar longitude near L = 235. ◦17. The activity pattern in 1965 showed two well pronounced peaks separated by 23 hours where the second one seemed t...
متن کاملInterpretation of non-specular radar meteor trails
[1] Radar data of non-specular meteor trails shows two clear and consistent features: (1) non–specular meteor trails are observed from a narrower altitude range than are head echoes and (2) an approximately 20 ms delay between meteor head echoes and trail radar scatter. This paper shows that both features can result from meteor trail plasma instability. Simulations have demonstrated that trails...
متن کاملPlasma instabilities in meteor trails: Linear theory
[1] Ablation of micrometeoroids between 70 and 130 km altitude in the atmosphere creates plasma columns with densities exceeding the ambient ionospheric electron density by many orders of magnitude. Density gradients at the edges of these trails can create ambipolar electric fields with amplitudes in excess of 100 mV/m. These fields combine with diamagnetic drifts to drive electrons at speeds e...
متن کاملSSC00-IV-3 Leonid Meteor Observer in LEO: A University Microsatellite to Observe a Meteor Shower From Space
This paper presents university-based design and development of a micro-satellite for the observation of a meteor shower from the low Earth orbit. The satellite will be launched as a piggy-back payload of a commercial rocket launcher, a few weeks before the 2001 or 2002 Leonid meteor maximum in which thousands of meteors are scientifically expected. The goal of the mission is to conduct the scie...
