[meteorite-list] PARTLY CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF CHONDRITES - STUDYING METEORITE FALLS USING. DOPPLER WEATHER RADAR

[Shawn Alan]

Hello Listers,

I found this article last night that would go great with the Meteorite Men's' season one final episode tonight on how Doppler radar was used to locate the West, Texas fall zone. 

                                Abstract
We present Doppler weather radar as a new method for locating meteorite falls. This locates meteorites within a few km of the ground, provides some characterization in flight, and functions for new falls and archived events back to 1992.
