Popis:	Experimental and theoretical work on the transverse dimensions of meteoric plasma trains have not converged to provide generally accepted values: especially uncertain is the dependence of the train radii on meteor speeds. The roles of the meteoroid structure, fragmentation and plasma processes such as ion-electron instabilities need establishing. Knowledge of the quantitative spatial distribution of plasma in meteor trains is essential for a correct interpretation of fluxes and orbital characteristics. A current project is described which employs the AMOR 26 MHz radar facility in conjunction with a frequency managed radar operating at longer wavelengths designed to measure the ionization train radii, heights, atmospheric speeds and orbits of individual meteors.
