CEDAR Postdoc: Modeling Radar Observations of Meteor Trails

这是一项博士后研究提案，旨在模拟无线电流星回波并创建流星观测的参数化模型。参数化模型的测试和开发将使用美国空军ALTAIR、皮乌拉、Jicamarca、Arecibo和MU雷达在一定频率范围内进行的观测来完成。然后，该模型被转换成一个自动还原系统，能够自动转换观测到的质量，密度，速度，成分和离子中性比的指定流星属性。该产品将提供给使用雷达技术研究流星流入大气层的研究人员。

This is a post-doctoral research proposal to simulate radio-meteor echoes and to create a parameterization model of meteor observations. Testing and development of the parameterized model is to be accomplished using observations made at a range of frequencies with the USAF ALTAIR, Piura, Jicamarca, Arecibo, and MU radars. The model is then converted to an automatic reduction system capable of automatically converting observations to the specified meteor properties of mass, density, velocity, composition, and ion-to-neutral ratio. The product is to be made available to researchers using radar techniques to study meteor influx into the atmosphere.
