(meteorobs) Fireball energy table

Hi all meteor observers !

I have one "small" question for fireball specialists :
are there any tables allowing to convert the magnitude
of a fireball to the energy it released ?
I guess this energy must be strongly dependent on several
parameters (i.e. atmospheric speed, composition of the
fireball, altitude, apparent height, etc), but maybe there's
a know equation of all those parameters ? Or some approximations
by using fixed values of these parameters ?

Thank you in advance for your answers !
Clear skies !
Karl
