The AMOR radar: an efficient tool for meteoroid research Original Research Article

The Advanced Meteor Orbit Radar (AMOR) is a multi-station HF system in continuous operation that measures both the geophysical parameters associated with meteoroid ablation and the heliocentric orbits of Earth-impacting particles to a limiting size of ∼ 40 μm. With a directional accuracy of ∼ 2° the facility is an incisive probe of the directional characteristics of material in the Earthʹs neighbourhood and the orbital spatial distribution of inner solar system dust.
