The decay of radar echoes from meteors with particular reference to their use in the determination of temperature fluctuations near the mesopause
The rate of decay of a radar echo from an ionised meteor train will be governed by the diffusion coefficient of the plasma and this in turn will depend on the temperature. Very recently the temperature fluctuations near the mesopause have been monitored by this means, by the recording of the dec...
