| Résumé: | Persistent meteor trains appear as a luminescent cloud that is visible im- diately following the occurrence of very bright ?reballs of magnitude )4or brighter. Opportunities for observing persistent meteor trains are limited by the rarity of ?reballs of su?ciently intense brightness. Even if a persistent train occurs in the clear night sky, the faint luminescence of the train is usually only visible for a few tens of seconds because of the rapid rate of di?usion in the upper atmosphere. Leonid meteor storms occur at 33-year intervals related to the perihelion return of the mother comet Tempel Tuttle. Experimental studies have demonstrated that the occurrence of bright ?- balls within the Leonid meteor storm is greater than within other meteor showers. The rapid incident velocity of Leonids (71 km/s) makes the Leonid storm period an ideal time to observe persistent meteor trains. Recent - vances in the prediction of the occurrence of meteor showers (e.g. McNaught and Asher, 1999; Lyytinen and Van Flandern, 2000) enabled the METRO campaign to observe meteor showers at precisely predicted times and dates |
