Err, how many decades ago did you get up to date the last time w.r.t. the
state of technology and analysis of international meteor video observing
networks? I could recommend http://www.imonet.org for starters (and there
are similar networks at work in many other parts of the world as well).
The full paper describing the latest analysis - and confirmation of the
southern deficit - will be in WGN soon.
