Statistical modeling of meteor shower radar observations. II - The Geminid shower
Abstract
A method for statistical simulation of radar observations of a meteor stream is established, and the results are compared to radar observations of the Geminid meteor stream. The data yield a model of the meteor zone of the atmosphere, and the mean density of the meteoroids in the Geminid stream. The density fluctuation of the falling stream, and the index of the meteoroid mass distribution during the period of Geminid activity have been determined.
