Short summary
Micro-size particles entering the Earth’s atmosphere do not emit enough light to be observed as meteors, but they can be probed with radars. The echo from these meteors depends on particle size and the atmosphere in which the particle travels. In this paper, we study the importance of neutral winds in forming meteor returns sensed by radars. We show that meteor trails can exhibit unique radar signatures due to neutral winds, explaining unique signatures in radar maps.
