Abstract
A recently presented expression for the forward-scattered signal from an over-dense meteor trail is tested by applying it to the signals scattered from a single meteor trail. The particular trail was selected carefully in order to permit the derivation of each of its parameters in several different ways. The internal consistency of the derived information is taken as a measure of the validity of the theoretical expression. In particular, the electron line density at each of two reflection points is derived by three different methods, of which two depend upon the new expression, and the other depends only upon well-established theory. The resulting agreement is within the experimental error and suggests that the new expression is an adequate working relation for use in experimental investigations.
