New methods of determining meteor speeds using radar are giving results with an accuracy of better that 1%. It is anticipated that this degree of precision will allow determinations of pre-atmospheric speeds of shower meteors as well as estimates of

The meteor radar response function is an important tool for analyzing meteor backscatter observed by radar systems. We extend previous work on the development of the response function to include a non-uniform meteor ionization profile, provided by me

MST radars have been used to detect and study meteors since the mid-1980s. By exploiting the narrow beamwidth, high-pulse repetition rate and measurement of echo phase inherent in such systems, a number of new techniques have been developed specifica

The IAU Meteor Data Centre (MDC), maintained at Lund, Sweden, under the direction of Bertil Lindblad, remains a valuable resource for the meteor community. Commission 22 currently has representatives on two inter-commission Working Groups, The Preven

The orbital element distributions of meteoroids detected during the Harvard Radio Meteor Project, 1968–69 Synoptic Year Program, have been reanalysed to remove selection effects associated with the radar observations. Corrections are made for the o

This paper briefly summarises the contribution to the understanding of meteoroids and their orbits from recent radar studies of meteors. New data from VHF and UHF observations indicates that some meteoroids are ablating at heights up to 160 km and mo

Narrow beam VHF radars are able to detect transient ionization at heights between 80 and 120 km produced by meteoroids entering the atmosphere ‘down-the-beam’. Using a vertically directed beam, observations of this new type of meteor echo on two

In this paper we describe a new technique for measuring the speeds of individual meteors based upon the variation of the phase received in specular reflections from the meteor train prior to the meteoroid reaching the point of closestapproach to the

We have gathered substantial evidence from novel radar meteor observations that most meteoroids start to ablate at altitudes considerably in excess of 100 km (at heights up to ∼140 km). This beginning height hb is a strong function of the melting p

This paper describes a comparison of two meteor radar systems operated simultaneously from June 29 to July 15, 1994, at the Buckland Park field station near Adelaide, Australia (35°S, 138°E). Both meteor systems operate on a narrow-beam VHF wind pr
