Scientific paper

Sixteen years of observations of the Perseid meteor shower, carried out with the partrol radar in Ottawa (Canada), were used to ascertain the relative flux of the shower for long-duration echoes. A sharp flux peak occurs at solar longitude 139.20 + or - 0.026 deg (for an echo duration greater than ore equal to 1 sec); this activity extends over several days. No small particles were observed, but it is not known whether this is caused by a real deficiency of small meteroids, or by a combination of selection effects rendering them unobservable.
