当流星进入电离层的低E区域时，它们会产生电离的痕迹。灵敏的无线电系统在3到300兆赫的频率下，可以以每小时数千次的速度记录这些电离尾迹的回波。对这些回波的研究有益于天文学、高层大气物理学和无线电通信。本文介绍了流星回波的性质，并描述了流星作为研究工具的主要用途。一些方向，进一步流星研究可能证明有利可图的建议。当IGY计划的结果相互关联时，我们可以期待从流星研究中获得的知识发挥重要作用。
When meteors enter the lower E region of the ionosphere, they produce trails of ionization. Sensitive radio systems at frequencies of 3 to 300 mc can record echoes from these ionized trails at rates of thousands per hour. Study of these echoes has benefited astronomy, the physics of the upper atmosphere, and radio communication. This paper presents a review of the nature of meteoric echoes, and describes the principal uses of meteors as research tools. Some of the directions in which further meteoric research may prove profitable are suggested as well. When the results of the IGY programs are correlated, we may expect the knowledge gained from the study of meteors to play an important role.
