Patterns in the distribution of meteor dust around the Earth are studied on the basis of earlier theories on the existence of a dust field around the Earth and the debate about the permanence or transitional nature of both individual particles and particle conglomerates. A model is constructed that predicts material will be distributed according to the relationship between the length of the radial standing wave constant for a given system one of whose harmonics is an element of the linear commensurability of the radii of typical rings (a sub o) and the mass of the central body in the system (M). It is calculated that for Earth a sub o = 2,155.5 km, and on this basis a search model is constructed for the possible distribution of isoenergetic complexes and subcomplexes around the Earth. The theoretical calculations are compared with data obtained from the Geos-2 satellite during the period 7 February 1972 through 2 August 1974, and it is shown that the predicted a sub o = 2,155.5 km for Earth agrees well with the distribution of meteor particles recorded during this period.
