A Southern Hemisphere Radio Meteor Orbit Survey
Abstract
A combined multi-station radar equipment of c.w. and pulse at 27 MHz was used at Adelaide (lat. 35°S) during the period December 1968 to June 1969 and again in October 1969 to measure radiants and velocities of individual meteors down to limiting radio magnitude MR = + 8. Reflections from 3 to 5 points typically separated by 2 to 6 km along each trail were used and corrections for the effects of meteor region winds and wind shears were included. To date 1667 orbits have been determined from 6 months of data.
