Scientific paper

On order to evaluate the capability of meteor observers to correctly estimate high rates of meteor activity during meteor storms, we developed 3 types of computer-controlled self tests. These were then carried out by a number of IMO observers in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany. Analysis of the results indicates that observers can roughly estimate rates of several tens of meteors per second. It tentatively suggests that the reported high EZHR values during the 1966 meteor storm are realistic.
