Abstract
When an ionized meteor trail is studied by the radio echo technique variations in phase of the scattered wave are observed. The phase changes resulting from diffraction effects, and those caused by the orderly movement of the trail under wind forces, are well known. This paper discusses a third type of phase change which is attributed to resonance as the ionized trail expands. It is shown that the measurements are in good agreement with the phase changes predicted by the theory of the scattering of radio waves from meteor trails.
