GH04: The Geospace Environment and Meteors (1)

Thursday, August 21  08:00-09:20,  Room #14

This session will cover advances in the detection, interaction, and characterization of meteors in the near-Earth space environment. Topics of interest include meteor detection and modeling in Earth’s atmosphere, and plasmas generated from hypervelocity impacts of both meteoroids and orbital debris. In particular, many questions remain on our estimates of global meteoroid flux, composition and density, and the influence of meteors on E-region electrodynamics. Papers that address the radio science and plasma instability issues implicit to meteors are encouraged.
