| 内容記述 | Recombinations in the ionized columns generated by faint radar meteors are observed as: (1) A rapid loss of returned signal in the first few milliseconds after formation of the column; (2) an apparent absence of bright, low meteors; and (3) anomalies in apparent diffusion rates. Recombination at rates characteristic of dissociative recombination of ionized atmospheric molecules N2(+) and O2(+) is completely consistent with the observations. It appears either that the molecules are ionized in the initial formation of the ionized column or that there is rapid charge exchange. Recombination is a sufficient cause for the differences between diffusion measures and other atmospheric studies. |
