Formation of plasma around a small meteoroid: 2. Implications for radar head echo
Y. S. Dimant, M. M. Oppenheim
This paper calculates the spatial distribution of the plasma responsible for radar head echoes by applying the kinetic theory developed in the companion paper (Dimant and Oppenheim…

Formation of plasma around a small meteoroid: 1. Kinetic theory
Y. S. Dimant, M. M. Oppenheim
Every second millions of small meteoroids enter the Earth's atmosphere producing dense plasmas. Radars easily detect these plasmas and researchers use this data to characterize bot…

Generation of Electrojets in Weakly Ionized Plasmas through a Collisional Dynamo
Yakov S. Dimant, Meers M. Oppenheim, Alex. C. Fletcher
Intense electric currents called electrojets occur in weakly ionized magnetized plasmas. An example occurs in the Earth's ionosphere near the magnetic equator where neutral winds d…
