Meteor trails track upper atmospheric winds.==$Physics Today, 62$==(6), 16-17. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3156320http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12816/3314Meers Oppenheim and his colleagues from Boston University, Peru's Jicamarca Radio Observatory (JRO), and Los Alamos National Laboratory now offer an alternative approach that has its origins in another 50-year-old technique. Free electrons produced in the plasma trails of incoming meteors make an ideal radar target. They also work well as wind tracers.application/pdfenginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessMeteorsIonosphereRadarPlasmaAtmospheric Physicsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/pe-repo/ocde/ford#1.05.01Physics Todayhttps://doi.org/10.1063/1.3156320
