Dependence of the height of disappearance for small meteoric bodies on their parameters

N. V. Popelenskaya

Lomonosov Moscow State University, Institute of Mechanics

Abstract: A new method for determining the parameters of small meteoric bodies by the height of disappearance on entering the Earth's atmosphere is proposed. The heat exchange processes in front of a body are taken into account. Some numerical results for a number of small meteoric bodies registered by the Canadian Network are discussed.

Key words: meteoric body, meteoroid, extra-atmospheric mass, height of disappearance, chondrite, stone.
