Analysis procedure for radar observations

Abstract

Based on the assumption that the ionized column left behind a moving meteroroid is underdense, it is shown that radar observations of the column yield resonable aproximations to the meteoriod's speed and trajectory. The principles and procedures for finding a meteor's position and vector velocity from the observed data are also presented.
