Meteor Train

The determination of the prevailing wind in the 80–100 km region of the upper atmosphere by a new method, involving the simultaneous use of a CW doppler radar at 30.02 Mc/sec and three-station pulsed radars at about the same frequencies, is presented in this paper. This method involves the determination of the exact location of each observed meteor train and the component of the velocity of its horizontal drift in the direction of the azimuth from Ottawa. A 40-minute period during the Geminid shower on the night of Dec. 10/11, 1948, has been selected for this investigation. Theory for the analysis of the body doppler records is briefly outlined. The prevailing wind speed obtained from the body doppler frequencies (fd) is 54 m/sec. The observed linear variation in the average fd with time, in the case of each meteor, has been explained as caused by the effective point of reflection drifting along its train towards the maximum echo duration level. Periodic fluctuations of fd of the order of 1–3 c.p.s., on the average, have also been observed. The above two phenomena can be explained from a postulate of atmospheric turbulence on a scale of about 1 km or above.
