摘要: Abstract The influence of the geomagnetic field on radar echoes from meteor trains has been studied during occurrence Geminid shower. Radar equipment was located to observe region where for a short time near transit magnetic meridian trajectories were parallel direction field. Effects due apparent most that shower above horizon, and results indicate that, in presence field, train develops irregularities which are elongated lines. effects not found be especially pronounced when formed
