Occurrence and Altitude of the Non-Specular Long-Lived Meteor Trails During Meteor Showers at High Latitudes

Abstract

• Long-lived non-specular echoes from non-field-aligned irregularities constitute 2% of all meteor radar detections • Long-lived non-specular echoes from non-field-aligned irregularities occur few kilometers higher than other echoes • Enhanced heights of meteor detections during showers are due to long-lived non-specular echoes from non-field-aligned irregularities ESSOAr |
