Abstract
Diurnal and seasonal variations in meteor signal rate observed during a 15 month period over a forward-scatter path situated in eastern Canada are discussed. Measurements were made at a frequency of 49.98 Mc./s. The data show a large spread from hour to hour and day to day with the greatest signal rate being observed during the summer months. The influence of ionospheric absorption on the signal rate observed during the morning hours is considered and it is concluded that the presence of a small amount of attenuation can modify appreciably the form of the diurnal variation.Keywords
