Broadside Radar Echoes from Ionized Trails
نویسنده
چکیده
An approximate method to compute rough estimates of the broadside radar return from axially symmetric ionized gas columns is presented and applied to an illustrative example The method uses a continuum approach and takes into account the electron-neuti al collision frequency and both axial and radial variation of electron density The local reflectivity is determined as a function of axial position along the column, and these values of reflectivity are used, in turn, to obtain radar cross section estimates

Dependence of radar signal strength on frequency and aspect angle of nonspecular meteor trails
[1] When a meteoroid penetrates Earth’s atmosphere, it forms a high-density ionized plasma column immersed in the ionosphere between approximately 70 and 140 km altitude. High-power, large-aperture (HPLA) radars detect nonspecular trails when VHF or UHF radio waves reflect off structures in a turbulent meteor trail. These trails persist from a few milliseconds to many minutes and the return fro...
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 کاملAspect sensitivity of VHF echoes from field aligned irregularities in meteor trails and thin ionization layers
The aspect sensitivity of VHF echoes from field aligned irregularities (FAI) within meteor trails and thin ionization layers is studied using numerical models. Although the maximum power is obtained when a radar is pointed perpendicular to the field line (⊥B), substantial power can be obtained off the⊥B direction if the ionization trail/layer is thin. When the FAI length along B is 20 m, the po...
متن کاملRadar observations of meteor trails, and their interpretation using Fresnel holography: a new tool in meteor science
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 trail, in order to deduce the degree of fragmentation of the ablating meteoroid. The technique has been remarkably successful in not only giving i...
