These diameters were derived from the plotting errors of experienced
observers and are based on doubly plotted meteors. The IMO Calendar does
not list the diameters of 5deg anymore, since thy have no practical
meaning. The physical diameter is smaller, and the diameter applicable to
the shower association of visual plots is larger, typically between 15 and
20 deg as listed above.
I hope I started to clarify the mystery of radiant sizes.
