Scientific paper

The Canadian Meteor Orbit Radar (CMOR) is used to look at the distribution of meteoroids which encounter the Earth. As a single-station operation, it is capable of determining radiant distributions on a statistical basis and the position and speed of individual meteors. The addition of two outlying receiving stations allows the determination of the orientation in space of the meteor leading to an estimate of the orbital parameters of the individual meteor and an independent additional estimate of its speed. Comparison is made of the effectiveness of the two modes of operation using observations on the Geminid and Sextantid meteor streams.
