Probabilistic meteor analysis and the first head echo results from the PANSY radar

We have a long-term research goal of creating a reliable loop between radar measurements and simulations of meteor events. This loop stretches all the way from the origin of meteoroids in the solar system to raw voltage data in a radar system. Focusing on the radar measurements, we are currently upgrading our meteor head echo analysis pipeline, expanding our analysis capabilities to trail echos and validating measurements. We present the recent upgrades to the MU radar analysis resulting in a new database, the first steps towards improved meteor trail echo analysis and the first results from meteor head echo measurements with the PANSY radar.
