Meteor smoke influences on the D-region charge balance – review of recent in situ measurements and one-dimensional model results

This work investigates the influence of meteoric smoke particles (MSP) on the charge balance in the D-region ionosphere. Both experimental in situ measurements and a one-dimensional ionospheric model reveal a clear impact of MSP on the ionospheric composition of the D-region. The study reviews r...
