Investigation of the variability of the duration and altitude of non-specular meteor trail echoes

Oscar De Lima

We still do not fully understand how meteoroid and atmosphere properties affect the evolution of meteor trails. A statistical analysis related to the duration, range difference and average range of the meteoroid would enable the calibration of the existing Non-Specular Meteor Echo Simulator (NSMES). In order to do the analysis, algorithms to detect the meteors, remove their noise and estimate the measurements had to be done.
