Effect of neutral winds on the creation of non-specular meteor trail echoes [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2021 Non-specular meteor trail echoes are radar reflections from plasma instabilities that are caused by field-aligned irregularities. Meteor simulations are examined to show that these plasma instabilities, and thus the associated meteor trail echo, strongly

Assessing the meteoroid risk in near earth space
Open Astronomy, 2018 The meteoroid risk in circumterrestrial space is basically caused by 1-10 mm meteoroid bodies. Meteoroid particles of such dimensions cannot be registered by modern monitoring astronomical instruments.
