Re: (meteorobs) Oct 20/21B 1998 fireball report




Hello, Rainer - and a WARM WELCOME to 'meteorobs' for the week!

We'll have to pay much closer attention to those messages coming
from 'GeoZay' for the next few days... ;>


>the existence of a train depends on the material coming in, too.

Does it, Rainer? How? Again based on Oepik's (ancient) description
of the physics involved, the train is supposed to be formed almost
entirely from recombining atmospheric molecules, expanding out into
the "cool" surrounding atmosphere by turbulence and diffusion.

Clear skies in California!
