Meteor Trails

Scientific paper

The distribution of the energy reflected by a meteor trail is strongly connected to the ionization density distribution across and along a meteor trail. Recent forward-scatter observations over the Bologna-Lecce baseline in Italy carried out in 1991 - 92, show that the number of underdense meteor trails with electron line density q ≤ 2×1014 electrons/m vs. peak signal amplitudes decreases more rapidly with the increasing signal level than what predicted. An exponential (simple and/or log-normal) model is proposed, by taking into account different signal-to-noise ratio thresholds and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov procedure is used to test the overall goodness of fit between the set of observations and specified theoretical distributions.
