| Abstract | METEOR MOTIONS ARE CALCULATED AT COSMIC VELOCITIES IN A REAL ATMOSPHERE, WITH ALLOWANCE FOR THE WIND SYSTEM AND TURBULENT MOTION OF AIR MASSES AT HEIGHTS BETWEEN 70 AND 110 KM. IT IS SHOWN THAT SUDDEN INCREASES IN METEOR BRIGHTNESS CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE PASSAGE OF A METEOR BODY THROUGH ATMOSPHERIC LAYERS OF DIFFERENT DENSITY. THIS APPROACH MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO EXPLAIN NOT ONLY METEOR FLARES BUT ALSO THE FRAGMENTATION OF METEORS. |
