(meteorobs) Meteor Count

[drobnock]

Reviewing the various observers meteor counts, the question that came to
mind is this: At the end of the year, from the various observers - AMS,
IMO, NAMN and others-   how are the number of observations corrected to
indicate the actual quantity of meteors to enter the atmosphere for a
given year. It is apparent that some of the observers are in adjacent
states or countries. The observers will observe and count the same
meteor. And in doing so, the observers reports would indicate a multiple
count. Are the final offical text book counts an average?
