Abstract :
Meteor burst signals received simultaneously by a system consisting of 33 receiving nodes have been analyzed to determine the functional dependence of a variety of footprint statistics on the number and spacing of the nodes. The results include examples of the dynamic nature of a meteor´s instantaneous footprint, the logarithmic dependence of the K-wise correlation function on the number of receivers, and the linear dependence of a network´s diversity on network size
