摘要: When an ionized meteor trail is studied by the radio echo technique variations in phase of scattered wave are observed. The changes resulting from diffraction effects, and those caused orderly movement under wind forces, well known. This paper discusses a third type change which attributed to resonance as expands. It shown that measurements good agreement with predicted theory scattering waves trails.
