On the influence of neutral turbulence on ambipolar diffusivities deduced from meteor trail expansion

By measuring fading times of radar echoes from underdense meteor trails, it is possible to deduce the ambipolar diffusivities of the ions responsible for these radar echoes. It could be anticipated that these diffusivities increase monotonically with height akin to neutral viscosity. In prac...
