Scientific paper

The expansion rate of a plasma irregularity into the ambient atmosphere is controlled by ambipolar diffusion for heights which correspond to collision dominated conditions. For heights greater than about 95 km, theory predicts that the plasma diffusion rate depends upon the geomagnetic field. However, little experimental evidence is available on this effect. The present work is the first report in which observations of under-dense radio-meteors have revealed the presence of a geomagnetic control.
