摘要: Abstract The character of the radio echoes obtained from ionized trails produced by meteors has been investigated. dependence on polarization incident wave studied and existence resonant scattering with transverse verified. magnitude resonance its electron line density, α, is found to be in good agreement theory, as also variation echo amplitude α.
