On the meteor height from forward scatter radio observations
It is known from theory that, by means of a plasma physics approach, it is possible to obtain a simple formula to calculate the approximate height of a meteor (Foschini, 1999). This formula can be used in case of forward scatter of radio waves and has the advantage that it does not depend on the diffusion coefficient. On the other hand, it is possible to apply the formula to a particular type o...
متن کاملSimultaneous meteor echo observations by largeaperture VHF and UHF radars
We report simultaneous meteor echo observations using the Arecibo 430MHz and 46.8-MHz radars. Using identical data-taking and meteor selection criteria, 1868 and 367 meteors were found in the 430-MHz and 46.8-MHz beams, respectively, while 145 were found in both beams during the 7 hours of observation. Of the 367 VHF echoes, there were only 10 trail echoes, while the rest were head echoes, whic...
متن کاملEvaporation of high speed sporadic meteors
Recent measurements conducted at the Arecibo Observatory report high-speed sporadic meteors having velocities near 50 km/s. The results seem to indicate a bimodal velocity distribution in the sporadic meteors (maxima at ∼20 km/s and ∼50 km/s). The particles have a maximum mass of ∼1μg. This paper will present an analysis of the ablation of 1μg meteoroids having velocities of 20, 30, 50, and 70 ...
متن کاملMeteor science from ionospheric observations
Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Abstract Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Abstract We report the observation and analysis of ionization flashes associated with the decay of meteoroids (so-called head echos) detected by the Arecibo 430 MHz radar during regular ionospheric observations in the spring and autumn equinoxes. These two periods...
متن کاملGlobal distribution of the migrating terdiurnal tide seen in sporadic E occurrence frequencies obtained from GPS radio occultations
Global Positioning System radio occultation measurements by FORMOsa SATellite mission-3/Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere and Climate satellites were used to analyse the characteristics of the 8-h oscillation in sporadic E (ES) layers. Six-year averages based on the 3-monthly mean zonal means from December 2006 to November 2012 were constructed for the amplitude of the ...
