Diffusion of meteoric plasma
A summary of the present understanding of the behaviour of meteoric ionization is given and cooling times for meteoric particles are calculated. While the cooling time for neutral atoms and positive ions is short compared to echo life-times, that for electrons is not and thermalization effects may b...
