Abstract
A description is given of the radio-echo techniques for the study of meteors. Particular attention is given to those which are relevant to the work on the astronomy of meteors, such as methods for the determination of meteor radiants and velocities. The discovery and elucidation of the complex series of day-time meteor streams is described as an illustration of the ability of these methods to work under conditions when photographic and visual observations are impossible. A short account is also given of the work on the interstellar meteor problem which has resolved the uncertainty as to whether the sporadic meteors are members of the solar system or come from interstellar space. Brief reference is made to the use of the radio techniques in meteor physics.
