Scientific paper

The hypothesis that superrotation of the earth's atmosphere results from
meteoroid influx is untenable. Meteor observations are not of sufficient
precision to substantiate direct rotation when the meteoroid influx is
treated macroscopically. Detailed dynamic studies argue against any
possible direct rotation.
