billpeters Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I need help finding and researching doppler radar sites recording incoming atmospheric meteors for possible strewnfield sites to search for recoverable meteorites. There was one research site the I had used which closed down. Obviously there are others, but I don't know what is out there. Which is the best? Are there any free sites? What are the costs for paid sites? I am interested in going back historically, if possible, to the late 1990's. I am also looking at a couple of possible AZ falls in 2020. All advice is welcome. Keep looking down. They're out there. billpeters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSilicate Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 You might get some info on the sites that might help you in that effort from Chris Peterson at Cloudbait Observatory, Guffey Co. His email: clp@alumni.caltech.edu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedrock Bob Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 This fellow was the final word for many years. He has incredible data on falls for a couple decades. He has shifted gears and im not sure he uses his technology to plot meteorite falls anymore. But he would be where I would start. https://www.heliotown.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
