Hello George,
When I'm sleeping, I don't reply it soon. (It is about 9 a.m. in Japan)
I refered articles as follows.
Asher.D.J., Izumi.K., 1998
Meteor observations in Japan :
new implications for a Taurid meteoroid swarm
MNRAS, 297,23-27
Other article are WGN(26:5) and S&T. Increasing of (N)Taurids fireball
is in this year, not increasing year by year. I don't make historical
analize. I don't know why the (N)Taurids fireball is increasing, not
(S)Taurids. But, observers which witnessed these fireball decided
(N)Taurid.
AMOTA holds a guidance of "Orientation 1998 for Leonids Meteor Shower"
in Tokyo today. I have to prepare the guidance in a hurry. bye!
