I don't have sufficient knowledge of meteor physics to know whether this is a 
REALLY dumb question or just a mildly stupid one, but: could increased train 
duration in higher (+ or -) latitudes in Summer be due to increased activity in 
Earth's magnetic field, rather than direct atmospheric excitation by the Sun? If 
so, longer (multiannual) cycles might also be discernible in the train data, 
along with a corresponding smaller mode in Winter... If you do end up analyzing 
old sporadic data, Neil, do you think you'd also try to correlate it with solar 
cycles? A curious question from the virtual peanut gallery,
