Meteor Trail, Radio Observations
Scientific paper
Radar observations of a meteor trail are the temporal variations in the amplitude and phase of the scattered radio signal usually recorded at one site. During the formation of the trail in the radar beam the recorded received signal can be considered as a one-dimensional diffraction pattern produced by a moving source. This diffraction data contains information on the structure of the trail that can be revealed by an appropriate Fresnel Transform. An analytical technique for carrying out this transform of meteor radar data will be described and examples given of the outcomes for a range of typical diffraction data. Inherent in the outcomes are refinements in the value of the speed of the meteoroid, the presence of multiple sources (presumed due to fragmentation) and a measure of the lateral motion of the trail during formation due to wind drift.
