Al.Grant Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Hi Graham, Have you ever seen any good explainations for the existance of the 'bands' in some of the meteor hits. I see exactly the same thing and I know many others do also. The pattern is too regular to be anything like wind shear and the measurement appear very similar over different images. I saw one explaination once that tried to take the measurements and correlate that to the radars phased array beam pattern. The beam has 4 sectors, each one covering a different arc. This sounds plausibe and would explain the regular pattern but I've never seen anything conclusive. This gives a description of the beam pattern and how each sector is scanned. http://www.itr-datanet.com/~pe1itr/pdf/The 143.050MHz Graves Radar a VHF Beacon.pdf Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 The band theory seems to hold water. Some of the larger hits are broken into 4 definable bands. Other than that it seems to be pretty vague . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
