Coordinated radar and optical observations. Radar measurements taken in 10 directions will allow estimation of spatial gradients. Clear weather and geomagnetically active conditions are required. A single fixed position to the north provides high time resolution. This may be replaced by a short azimuth scan as conditions warrant.
Geomagnetic activity is required.
The zenith and MISA antenna and raw data sampling will be used to determine the amplitude and distribution of head echoes from sporadic meteors. The zenith and MISA antenna and raw data sampling will be used to determine the amplitude and distribution of head echoes from Leonid shower meteors. The times and experimental modes to be run, as described in this letter, are all subject to change. This operations letter is sent monthly by e-mail to a limited distribution list.
