Hi Markku,
I am very surprised to learn more meteorobservers are heading to China.
We, the Dutch Meteor Society, are setting up a large expedition to China too.
This expedition is a co-operation with the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
We are with two teams each at a diffenent location in Chian to minimize the
risk of bad weather.
One team of 8 observers is located at Xinglong observatory which is about
150 kilometsr north-east of Beijing, the other team consisting of 9
observers is situated near Delingha radio observatory which is about 600
kilometers west of Xining which in turn is 200 kilometers west of Lanzhou
in the center of China.
We will perform visual, radio and double-station photographic observations.
Our expedition takes part in the scientific investigations which are
coordinated by Dr. Peter Jenniskens of NASA-AMES.
You will find all information regarding this "ground-based" Sino-Dutch
Leonid Expedition 1998 on the website of the Dutch meteor Society:
