Leonids: Radio Observations

Scientific paper

A preliminary overview of Leonid radio results submitted to the SPA Meteor Section from November 1996 is given. A spectacularly high peak occurred in echo counts over European sites, with perhaps three or four subphases within the maximum itself. Overall activity was significantly above normal from around 2h - 10hUT on November 17. By contrast, Japanese observers recorded only a minor enhancement in echo counts on November 16 - 17 and 17 - 18. A component noted in both data sets was a large increase in long-duration echoes (more than 10 s) coincident with the Leonid radiant's observability on November 16 - 17 and 17 - 18. Observations and comments by European radio operators also suggest an effect reminiscent of Sporadic-E may have accompanied, or closely followed, the Leonid radio maximum. Some problems this may cause in interpreting radio observations where no other data is available for comparison are outlined.
