摘要: Abstract The results are presented of an experiment relating the heights radio echoes from meteors with ambipolar diffusion coefficient determined rate decay echo amplitude. scatter is explained in terms errors measurements and a technique analysis given, which takes account these errors. slope obtained for height/ln D relation compared those given by other workers reasons discrepancies discussed. It concluded that atmospheric scale height during winter at 98 km above Jodrell Bank (53° 14′ N) 8.0 km.
