Scientific paper

A multiwavelength radar backscatter study of the echo characteristics of radio meteors has yielded measurements of the height dependence of the initial radii of overdense plasma meteor columns. The dependence of initial radii on atmospheric density found here is a little more pronounced than the behavior found for underdense plasma radii. The present results suggest that for bright meteors, the values of initial radius are greater by a factor of five than the values for underdense plasma columns.
