AGU Publications - Wiley
A theoretical analysis of the probability of detection of infrared radiation from a meteor trail, in the range 0.9 to 2.5 μ, using equipment at ground level, indicates that no more than one sporadic meteor is likely to be detected in 350 hours of observing. The rate may improve briefly during the peak of a ...
