Radar meteor decay rate variability and atmospheric consequences
The reasons for scatter in plots of log(inverse decay times) vs. height for radio meteor echoes are examined, and an explanation for the characteristics is offered. Effects like temperature variability, pressure variation, angular detection accuracy, pulse length, phase errors, plasma processes...
