Abstract

AbstractThe radio observations of meteor echoes using FM broadcasting were carried out from January, 1981 to June, 1985. The annual variation of meteor rates in the 5 years was obtained from the observations made from 25h through 29h in local time (16h-20h UT).Some features in this annual variation can be explained by the occurrence of the major meteor showers. After the effects of these major showers are removed there remains a significant annual variation which shows higher rates in the winter half of the year (October to March). This seems to be caused by the annual variation of non-shower meteors radiating from the apex region.
