Abstract
A model of meteor ablation in the atmosphere has been developed for meteoroids in the mass range 10 −12 kg to 4 × 10 −5 kg (size range 10 µm to 2 mm). The model builds on the classical model of meteor ablation, and adds a thermal fragmentation mechanism. The goal of the model is to characterize the physical structure (fundamental grain sizes) and chemical composition of meteoroids.
