THE LATITUDE DEPENDENCE OF RADAR METEOR SHOWER OBSERVATIONS

Abstract

A simplified method of assessing the relative significance of meteor showers is discussed. The bias inherent in single-station rate measurements is largely eliminated and the importance of short-range echoes is emphasized. Comparison of results obtained from both hemispheres reveals a considerable measure of agreement between various surveys. (Author)
